Input Please! Advice for Projects to come! 200

Hey all,

As a 20 year old, my 92 244 and I have been through A LOT in short amount of time... That said, I was considering doing THREE things, so let me know what you think or if you've done any of these yourselves:

1. Draining/flushing/changing ATF fluid... Slips slightly into reverse, running 190,000 miles on an AW70, I'd bet all the tea in China that it's the original fluid. Will this help for transmission function/longevity?

2. Removing/Cleaning fuel injectors... I won't bore you with the details, but the fuel system (now almost completely new!) has been overstressed. While there is no immediate problems with the injectors, I've heard this can do wonders for idle, throttle response and fuel mileage. Thoughts?

3. Last, Cleaning the Throttle Body... I'm not sure I want to completely remove the TB (Having to replace the gasket, loosen and remove bolts/washers that surely won't want to come loose) but remove the intake hose, clear visible gunk/grime out, check for proper function and put some carb/choke cleaner (safe for Cats and O2 sensors, of course...) to seal the deal...

Let me know what you think, regarding any of these particular jobs... Any input will be helpful and I appreciate the responses!

Thanks much,

Spencer
