transmission service intervals?
 
I've neglected to change my trans fluid since it was rebuilt over 110k miles ago. I elected to have it rebuilt after blowing a front seal. I change the engine oil religously, but not trans. I have spoken to a few transmission people with differing viewpoints. 2 of them have stated that if you haven't changed your trans fluid in that number of miles it would do more harm than good now. PS it is working flawlessly as I write this. Any thoughts on this?????

Those guys are silly..
Change it and the filter asap and then try to do it according to the recommendations....

The factory recommendation for your car is to change the transmisssion oil and filter every 30k miles. For heavy duty (e.g. lots of city driving) they recommend every 15k miles. Avoidance is not a strategy for longevity.
