I was disagreeing with that you say don't change the fluid because it's been too long since it's been changed. Re-read that statement in the page you posted. It didn't say don't change it anywhere! I says if it hasn't been changed, it might be too late because the tranny might be destroyed one way or the other. Change the fluid, and the tranny might last longer because it'll stay lubricated, and cooled.
If what you're saying is true, then I don't think people that haven't changed their motor oil in a long time should change their motor oil neither because of all the build-up!

I had asked above "In the case of automatics, another consideration is if fluid has never been changed on high mileage car it is better not to change (or so I hear). Would this be the case for mtx also?"
Maybe I did not understand this answer that was given "I think if the fluid has not been changed for a long time, you better get a complete flush a few time! Dislodge old deposite my ass, you'll only get more deposite build up not giving the tranny adaquet lubrication."
I thought he was disagreeing with the claim that for an automatic it is better to leave it alone if high mileage and never been changed. Maybe not now that I re-read it.
