I may have misremembered on this point: looking at the book to see what is
needed at the next service (60K miles), I noticed that changing the
transaxle fluid is recommended at 48K miles, so perhaps it did get done as
a routine matter and I forgot about it.

For your sake I certainly hope so. I would hate to see you have to get a
new trans just because the fluid wasn't changed. Also be damn sure whoever
changes it be it you, the dealer, or another shop uses ATF+4 fluid unless
you like the rough shifts and reduced trans life caused by Dexron with or
without lubeguard added.

And don't forget to change the differential fluid periodically too.
75W-90 or 80W-90.
