If the car has 80,000 miles, it probably has original plugs & wires, so it would be high time for new OEM double platinum plugs anyway. If the wires are original (you can tell by the cylinder numbers on them), replace them too. Make sure you put the good OEM ones on there-the only others I have had any luck with are the NAPA Belden Premium wires, but they still don't last quite as long & cost almost as much. Make sure plugs are properly gapped & make sure to use a little bit of dilectric silicone grease in the wire ends to ease installation/removal. And FYI, 9 years/80,000 miles is not too early for the TCC to chatter/shudder, especially if the tranny has not been kept maintained.
