Amazing what the difference in cost is when you do it yourself sometimes. Nice job. I've had my trans flushed every year since I've owned it, but I don't think the filter has ever been changed. Did you drain your converter, too, or just the pan?

It might not hurt to pull the #5 plug and see what it looks like and if the gap has changed. I know the plugs are suppose to last 100k but depending on your driving conditions they may need changing or cleaning and re-gapping. Check your brake fluid also. Its probably due for a change also. Did you get the cruise control harness upgraded?
