Xenonk Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 assuming that all the 36k miles stuff has been done, you dont have to worry about anything here. If you are anal with the tranny and diff fluid, now's a good time to change it. Coolant flush, brake bleed and and oil change are called to order though.

Scotty Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm approaching 50K also, but I bought mine new 14 months ago. No major work required until 60K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deneb Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I don't think there's any scheduled maint. at 50k is there? Other than perhaps oil change and tire rotation? Your LGT will need service at 60k per the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanboy Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Turbo is definitely worn out. Get a bigger one and it will last longer. -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy05 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I honestly would replace the diff fluids .. I just did mine at 38k miles ... switched to Redline NS ... car shifts a bit smoother now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesuby Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 If none of the fluids have been done yet (except engine oil, of course), I'd do them all and then do the engine oil and filter too. Plug replacement due at 60k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy05GT Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Its going through a Mid-Life(er quarter-life?) crisis...give it some decals and paint the calipers and it'll feel young again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 it's usually every 15k mile intervals that I look at: 15k (minor) check all belts, fluids and any thing else that needs to be torqued 30k (major) change all fluids, change brake pads, tires 45k (minor) check spark plugs, fluids, and spray down the car with anti-seize type stuff 60k (major) keep an eye on the clutch, change all fluids, pads and tires 75k (minor) keep an eye on the belts and any other rubber bushings 90k (major) time to change clutch, belts, fluids, usually this is the biggest check-ups for a car Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
