change the oil, check trans fluid, diff fluid, and coolant. You also may want to pull the spark plugs and check gap and wear on those. I would also check out the turbo for shaft play and oil blowby. Just give the car a really good check over and cleaning. It will be better to find a small problem now, plus then you will know what you are working with.

I am assumings its a 6 spd, you have to pull the fill plug out of the trans. the best way to check it is to just stick your finger inside the trans, you should touch fluid almost immeadaitely. if it is lower than that you need to add some fluid. I am not sure on what gap you should use. It will really depend on what heat range the plug is and how much boost and all that you are running.
