Is this true about trannies?

[roundhouse]

My 96 4runner had 300k on it and same fluid that it left the factory with

As long as it hasn't been over heated and smells sweet and is a light red color. It should be fine

If its dark brown or smells burnt. The trans is gonna croak soon anyway

Yes he does because I have -10000000000 experience with trannies.

Wait, you told me you recommended these trannies...???

But in all seriousness, my head mechanic at the job told me the same thing, don't change fluid as it may cause particulates to dislodge & cause issues. I didn't get into details with him about the fluid, so I honestly can't speak intelligently about that. As a matter of fact, I have a Ford V6 with 170K+ that seems to be slipping from 1st to 2nd, I fear I'm going to need to do something soon

Any idea where the concern comes in doing fluid changes on high-mile vehicle Vs others? Is there a valid concern with particulates as mentioned before, or is this just an assumption? Honestly, I'm scared to do mine based on everything I've heard
