Tune up time!

I have a 1994 Trans Am GT with 25K miles. I allready had the oil changed about a month ago. I have NEVER Flushed my automatic Tranny, coolant system, or my rear end. I also have never ran any type of fuel system cleaner through it (the previous owner might have.) I have a 3 year old fuel filter, and a 1 year old PCV.

Here is my check list, tell me if there is anything I can add to this, or if I am missing something.
PCV
Fuel filter
Transmission flush (with gasket and filter)
Coolant flush (new thermo and water wetter, which was free!)
Power stearing flush.
K&N cleaning
Differential fluid (with slip additive)
Butterfly cleaner (what is a good brand?)
Injector cleaner (chevron)

Anything else I could be missing? The tires can't be rotated, and I have never checked the brakes, but they don't squeak at all.

I forgot to mention I have new plugs and wires allread for my header install. Any links on how to do a brake fluid flush? How do you check the O2's, just visually?

I was thinking the same thing, why would they go bad so early? Also, I allready had TB cleaning on the list.

sometimes leaving a car sitting is worse than driving it In my personal opionion i would not change the O2's unless you know they are bad.....they should still be good IMO.
