Scheduled Maintenance Q's In the service manual I have for my 99 Trans Am it tells you when to do the scheduled maintenace. I bought my car at 31,900 miles in March of '05 and it now has 37,500 miles on it. As far as I know the only things that have been changed are the tires, brake pads(by the dealership I bought it from)oil and oil filter and air filter(by me). It says to change the transmission fluid and filter at 50,000 miles and the spark plugs and wires at 100,000 miles. Should I change those two(plugs/wires and tranny fluid/filter)any sooner and also what about the fuel filter and the rear end fluid?
Thanks - Dan.

dexron III will start to go bad just like any oil so i would replace it along with my rear end fluid. fuel filter also can't hurt and flush your dexcool should have been done on the 5 year mark...and since you are overdue for that flush make sure everything in your cooling system seems ok (check for rust)
