maintenance slk 230

I have 95000 on my slk, and wondering what I need to do for maintenance for 95000 or 100,000. I frequently change oil, and spark plugs. When does the trans oil need to be changed? or differental fluid? should I wait till I hear my brakes squeek before I spend money on them? anything I should definatley chk out at this mileage? thanks

do you have a manual? your service interval is in the manual. the coolant and brake fluid needs replacement every 2-3 yrs. air filter every other oil change. have the brake inspected. atf, diff fluid probly is good for lifetime but doesn't hurt to change it.
