Need some fluid advice

I have searched before anyone flames me but not all of this is in one post and its scattered around, plus Im kinda a noob when it comes to this stuff. Well I'm at around 33k miles with my 6MT, bought it with 23k and have not done anything to it other than brakes. My questions are should I do the trans/clutch fluid, differential fluid, brake, power steering and a coolant flush? Ive seen tons of different answers about when to do it and I think I may be able to do some of the stuff myself with my dad. Thanks to anyone that helps!

I am going to assume one owner before you.

How were they? Age, Character? Did they give you any receipts?

I wouldnt worry about power steering yet. Coolant flush can be done once a year if your really that worried. Brake fluid should have been done when the brakes were done.

Yep one owner, no idea to any questions because I bought it from a dealer and I did not get receipts. Ok I can check with my mechanic Im sure they did that. Im so dumb I didnt even think that they would do that when they did my brakes

Yaaaa....about that. They are very useless at the moment because I have a lawsuit against them regarding the car haha. It has subframe damage that I was unaware of. Long story...

Change out that coolant and brake fluid. It's good to change your coolant about every 3 years.

Brake fluid.... every 3 to 4 years.... especially if the system has ever been worked on and there's a chance that it's absorbed some water, since Brake fluid does that and then can corrode your internal parts of the braking system.
