Thanks!
I guess that means B1 & B3 no?
And I'm not sure, but doesn't it mean we have to do the whole B + 1 & 3?
B:
Road test vehicle. Replace engine oil and oil filter. Replace engine oil drain plug washer. Inspect all fluid levels and condition of fluids. Check front and rear brake pads, rotors and brake calipers. Check parking brake adjustment. Inspect tie rod ends, steering gearbox and gearbox boots. Inspect suspension components. Inspect drive shaft boots. Inspect brake hoses and lines including VSA lines. Inspect exhaust system. Inspect fuel lines and connections
1. Rotate tires, check and set tire pressures and hand torque all lug nuts.
3. Replace automatic transmission fluid and transfer fluid
And the transmission fluid about 2 months ago was crystal clear.
Do I have to do all the above?

inspect = Look and see.
you want to inspect or look and see if any damage to components. all you're doing is looking and assessing. the point of this is to look for broken components or components that look like they are about to break.
then can correct any damaged parts by replacing them before they break other components

you would need a microscope to look at the molecules to tell if it's bad or not.
but because we know that transmission oil wears just like engine oil, it's a safe bet to go ahead and change the tranny oil.
safe insurance, ya know?
or you could gamble and keep on trucking with that fluid in there.

Changing transmission fluid good?
May sound dumb but I get nervous when it comes to changing transmission fluid what do you guys say about that? I did it once and my transmission started to slip never again did I do it again....

Which car was that? Liker Audis, its considered for life. I stillchanged it on mine as I'm unable to accept there exists a liquid that'll keep my tranny smooth and non grinding for life. I changed it.
How you changed it makes a difference too. I'm no expert, but a simple drain a fill I think won't empty it all. Much oil remains on the metal inside. So you just freshen it all up, But if you do many consecutive drains and fill, or - God forbid - a flush? Ya. You may be asking for trouble.
