Default 60K mile service?

ok guys the camaro just turned 61k miles and yesterday i changed spark plugs and wires and today i changed both front o2 sensors(they were bad)
i am curious about possibly changing the fluid in my tranny, it is M6. or rear end fluid, brake fluid?, flush radiator(something that i can do at home).

my rear rotors are also bad(i changed the fronts this summer) so i think that i am going to go ahead and replace those along with the front tires(also shot)

Any other 60k service ideas would be great.

Thanks
Louie

FWIW now that i changed the bad o2s today the car runs fantastic.

i got the Bosch 13111 o2 sensors from advance auto. i had them price match a nearby Murrays auto parts and got them for 60bux a pop.

fuel filter is a great idea that i actually did not think of..i will add that to the list.

ok today i bought a fuel filter, Mobil 1 ATF for the T56, and Mobil 1 75W90 for the rear.

i also bought new rear rotors to get the little vibration fixed. other than that i ordered BFG KDWSs for the front. 300 bux for both mounted with warrantee...i figured it wasnt too bad.

Just including some info.

yeah, but when flushing the radiator will it suffice to just go ahead and empty and then refill?

Thanks

ok just as an update i did the rear, the trans, and the Fuel filter today.

all went well. i used Mobil 1 75w90 in the rear
Mobil ATF in the trans
and just a new autozone fuel filter.

It felt good doing the maintenance to the camaro.
