Importance of Tranny service at 30K?
I'm coming up on 30,000 miles (already!), and saw that Mitsu recommends a tranny flush/service at that point. I've heard some say that it should be done, while others have said not to worry about it. What does everyone think on here?

i omit stuff like rotating tires and such, but if the manual says do a flush, i would rather spend the money and do a flush than call the dealership for a new tranny a year later.

Do you have a stickshift? If so, replacing the tranny fluid is easier than changing your oil. And you can get some nice synth Mobil 1 or RedLine in there and be a happier, more well-adjusted shifter.
Or you have an automatic, and should probably just go get it flushed. As for going 60,000 miles without doing it... yes, you can. But you don't have to. And if you want the shifting to be smooth, then you won't want to. And if you want the transmission to still be in good shape after 200,000 miles, you better not.
