fuel pump: every 60,000 miles although it should work longer, tranny
shouldnt go out for like 150,000 unless you dog it and race a whole lot, or dont know how to drive stick, spark plugs and wires need to be done about every60 - 80 thousand miles the sensoers usually go out at 100,000, so do i think its a lemon? no, just normal for american made crap.
