It's NOT about "fixing" issues. You change the fluid at 30k intervals and the fluid and filter at 60k intervals. Enough said.
Mine had 84k on it (purchased at 82.5k) when I did the service and it shifted fine. As far as I could tell, it had NEVER been serviced. The fluid smelled bad, was a little dark and the pan had the black sludge and the iron debris on the magnet. Let drain for 3+ hours, changed out the filter and pumped in 8 liters of Mobil 1 ATF. Now it operates just like the ZF transmission in my S Class...beyond smooth, even when manually shifting through the gears.
