Power Steering, Coolant, Brake Flush?
How beneficial is it for me to get any one of thoes three flushed? My 2SS m6 has 26,000miles on it. Also, a tranny fluid change?

Don't pay outrageous money having it done. I personally only would do the transmission and coolant flush. |

Dextron 3 trans fluid is good for 100k. If you're hard on your trans and it sees a lot of increased temps on regular basis I'd recommend you change it at 50k. Modern coolant is good for 50k. So I'd say you're half way there.

Just follow your 300 page + owner's manual.
If you are driving the car like a regular commuter, i.e., not drag racing or "drifting", nor doing burnouts or such, you will be fine. God bless we have nothing else to be worried about. t |

With your M6, its important to replace the brake fluid at least annually - otherwise you'll start having clutch problems (unless of course you've installed a separate clutch reservoir).
Coolant - every 5 years regardless of mileage. Dexcool turns to sludge after that (search for "Dexcool lawsuits" if you don't believe this). I never really change power steering fluid unless I have a problem...
