I have had people tell me that the fluids in a manual car does not need
changing. Is that true? I have about 108000 on my 2001 accent no major
trouble as of yet (knock on wood) My dealership closed that i used to
goto and the closest one has rude a$$ service Techs.
 
I don't recall the interval specified in the owner's manual, so you should
check. If it were my car, I'd do it every 30k.

That's nuts, but it's your money to waste. That's like changing
synthetic engine oil at 2,000 mile intervals.

No kiddin'. It's a manual tranny for Pete's sake. I'm curious why
hyundaitech suggested it. He is usually well thought out, or speaking from
observed experience.
 
30k is just what I'd do on my car. Why? Because it's cheap and I think
it's a good interval. Just like I change my coolant every year. But
that's me.

Once upon a time, the recommended interval was 30k, but I'm remembering
from cars made 15 years ago. Bottom line, you're only required to do what
the manual says.
