I'd keep my eye on it if I were you. Changing the fluid of a trans with
that many miles can be an interesting experience to say the least. If
it's never been done before, odds are that the fluid has varnished up
inside there and changing it will clean that varnish away (since we all
know trans fluid is a detergent) and possibly cause you trans problems.
Take a look at the fluid color and smell, if the color looks kinda
faded (brownish) and it smells a little bit, I'd say it's a safe bet
it's the original fluid. You can change it, but be careful and watch
the trans performance.
