Thanks John for your input and info. I don't have brake problems and, I must admit, I might have misunderstood re the brake bleed - it might have been at 30k miles. Regarding the transmission service, the indie thought that after 60,000 miles, more frequent service was needed, i.e., every 30k. However, what is evident is that I need to get a copy of the service manual. I got the car used last October and had to order a regular manual - I for some reason thought the service guidelines would be included in the regular manual. Again, thanks for your help.
