Welcome. Download the shop and owners manual - called the RAVE.

Be aware that heat gauge will show 50% from like 130F to 230F, so you want to think about a scanner or Ultra Gauge to see actual temps.

The front drive shaft if stock has sealed joints at one end. When they dry out, the shaft can come apart and poke hole in tranny. Rebuild or replace before this happens, see our tech area for rebuild info.

There is also a high miles service list of things to catch up with.
