Default Replacing Primary & tranny fluid

I bought my x bones new, and wondering when i should change my primary and tranny fluid? Should i do it when i change my oil at 3k?

This will be my first complete oil change for everything. I got 2500 miles on it now.

Thx
Jesse

You should change all your fluids now, since you missed your first service. You also need to get a service manual, as about 43 people are going to tell you to do. After you change fluids now then you can go back to the normally scheduled service intervals at 5,000 mile increments, i.e. 5,000 mile service, 10,000 mile service, etc.
