Going to replace my
-tranmission fluid, new filter at the same time?
-clutch fluid
-engine oil doesn't need to be done yet
-radiator was done a while ago
any others I should think about doing brake, power steering?? (remember this is a japanese car)

recommendations on what brand and grade fluids I should be using?

Most important is of coaurse engine oil and transmission fluid. you could also do fuel filter, clutch and brake fluid is the same thing and if clutch and brakes are fine you don't really need to worry about it, same with power steering all you have to do is see that it is topped up. You could also do a tune up and get new spark plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor.

sorry I cant recomend grades of transmission fluid because I have a different celica, they may have the same gearbox and diff, if so you can use 75-90w.
