45,000 Mile Maintenance

I was just wondering what I can do to make the car last long. I got the car a month ago with 40,000 miles and my car is already hitting 45,000. (Back and fourth from college to back home on every other weekend and football games) Do I need a transmission, brake, coolant flush? I dunno about anyone else, but my A/C seems a little weak compared to my other Acura (TSX). I dunno about transmission flush, but I heard everyone on theses forums (if I'm not mistaken) that Acura trannies aren't great and probably only last about 80k (typically). Will a transmission flush help?

Thanks

Well 04 to 06 trannies were a little bad. IN 07/08 they fixed most problems. Read the manual, and u should not do a tranny flush, it not good for acura trannys. U have to do 3x drain process, ur dealer knows what ur talkign about.
