Default 1999 S70 - Do I need a Manual Transmission Service?

I'm the original owner of a 99 S70 equipped w/manual transmission. I do as much as possible all of the recommended services/repairs but have not done anything to the transmission - it is a relative low-mileage car with 114K miles. Shifting remains smooth as when it was new. Should I do any type of service on the transmission?

Just keep up with the fluid. Since it has over 100k on the original fluid, you should just put new trans fluid in it. Wouldn't hurt plus would tie you over for a long time.

Here is a right-up I found. Seems it is a little more of a hassle then the auto trans;
