With 75K miles your tranny should still be fine.
Mine has had 4 oil changes in its 216,000 mile life and although it now whines a bit, it's still solid.
Happy Boxstering,

Yep. And some recommend you perform a "rectal exam" on the tranny (that really sounds bad, I know). Theres a magnet just in front of the drain hole, toward the engine. Stick a finger up there and scoop out as much of the sludge that collects there.
