I think you are in the clear until around 60k with the exception of oil changes. I had the original fuel filter, tranny fluid and clutch until 115k, when I replaced the worn out stock clutch and installed Jim's fuel upgrade.

The original tranny fluid still looked clean and new...

Hari: a little preventive maint can go long ways.
*At the most, get a drain and fill on the tranny (i did that at 30K) and when my sol reaches 60K i plan to do the tranny flush!
*i didn't change my fuel filter, but if ya wanta..go ahead..i plan on changing mine at 60K. Some people say change it every 2 years...but then again, we all drive toyota's and fill up at reputed gas stations (not unbranded gas!!!).

Really transaxle fluid, blah blah blah, you gotta have something to lubricate the gears. It's synthetic 75W 90 gear oil.
