I've never heard anyone say "just leave the fluid in there". I wouldn't
recommend that to anyone with any car or truck with any transmission.
Thats like saying, "Eh I won't change my engine oil anymore because the
car is 10 years old has over 100K miles on it and I don't care."
Clean fluid is healthy for a transmission. Dirty fluid is bad. Its just
that simple.
