W204 Estate Transmission fluids?

Hey Guys,

I hear mixed stories about servicing the transmission fluid.

I've had it since 50kms and I am not sure if the trans has ever been changed, it's at 80kms now and I have done oil every 10k's, however I have never seen the report of the trans being changed.

Should I do it, everyone says no the fluid is now so viscous that putting new fluid in it is suicide, should I change the fluid and filter but ask them to put the old fluid back in or do a full service?

It's not shifting slow or slipping, it's very smooth in S+ and Manual but I wanna keep it running good, should I not mess with it?

My gut tells me to leave it but I am big into preventive maintenance as this V8's are getting harder and harder to find these days and want to keep it running great.

Cheers.

You've landed in our AMG section. Is this correct or is your car a non-AMG W204?
