Maintenance Questions

I've put my 93Z in the garage for winter storage and have been thinking about doing some routine maintenance on it. She's only got around 35,XXX miles on her. I'm going to do the throttle body bypass, but what else should I try to do? I'm pretty sure everything is original/stock down to the battery. I did put the SLP CAI on a year or so ago. I was thinking about sparkplugs, but it seems like a major PITA! I doubt the tranny fluid has ever been changed, how hard is that to do?

Spark plugs = they ARE a PITA! You can get to all of them once you pull the alternator and starter. If your arms are skinny enough you can do the #8 plug WITHOUT pulling the starter. You can get 3 of the driver's side from the top, the last one from underneath.

Those original spark plugs are rated for 100,000 miles usage, at 45K on my car the dealer refused to change them, really.(now I know why, they suck to change)

Antifreeze and clean off the three little resistors on the Mass Airflow Sensor, dont touch them or you will blow up, use electrical contact cleaner on them.

No MAF on my car to clean.
