Default Fluid Changes

Just purchased my car. The car is 2004 and has 5,000 miles.
I changed the oil, oil filter and differential fluid.
I am wonder about the others - transmision, brake and clutch fuids. Yes the milage is low but it has 2 years on them.

Thank you,

Might as well do the tranny fluid too. I wouldn't worry about the brake or clutch fluid, although others may tell you I'm wrong.

5k on an 94 thats nothing.. my '00 only had 7995 miles when I picked it up in december 05 needless to say, it has a shit load more now.

Anyway, personally I would change the tranny fluid at 10k, but it definitely doesn't need it. If you feel like it, use new Honda MTF.. otherwise, save yourself some labor time. basically do whatever you want
