I bought my 8 last april with 21k miles and now have 64k miles. I've only done routine maintenance like about 10 oil changes, done my front and rear brake pads twice or thrice, machined both all the rotors like once, and I've done my spark plugs. I've checked my transmission fluid a good few times and it's always looked fine (clear and pinkish and full). I'm thinking about doing a flush but worried that flushing it might make it worse. As it is now my tranny is perfect from what I can tell, it shifts perfectly.

I've heard it messes with automatics, too. I know I have to go to the dealership in order to get it flushed because I went to my transmission shop of choice and they said they aren't able to order the head gasket or w/e to fit in order to flush it. I hate our mazda dealership too. Should I worry about flushing it or should I just drain it and refill it when the fluid isn't good looking anymore ?
I'm a auto-lamo I guess. I have fun with my auto though, it's gotten a little more powerful as I've aged and broken it in.

12v adapter is probably a fuse, the dealer will most likely fix the visor and the tails as other people have said. I know those are just the little things, but those little things drive me crazy
