fluids, not just engine oil?

I've got about 20K on the clock and after much reading I've decided to switch over to synthetic. Yes I know, its about time. Anyways, I've also read about the importance of changing out the transmission fluid and the differential fluids. My question is: Should this be done, can I do it, how do you do it, and what should I use. You get the point. As everyone here, I just want the best for my girl.

I know as a standard rule you would want to have the trans serviced about every 6,000 ( I dont know if everyone does )

The Powersteering fluid I was told could go for a while ( 100K ? )

I dont know what the rule is on the rear diff

coolent ?

if you do the rear, unless you have an aftermarket add on with a drain plug, you have to take off the rear diff cover and get a new gasket for it.. if you use synthectic, it will out last your car.. unless you change gears or break yours, you should not need to ever change the rear gear oil ever..
