700 r4 V6 issue

So turns out my trans was acting all whack because the TV cable had snapped, got that fixed and everything is back to normal, just the tranny fluid is kind a black.

The mechanic told that he could check the fluid and if it had a lot of debris in it, it wasn't recommended to change the fluid because the new one could screw the trans.

First time i ever heard that, what do you guys think?

Change it.

If there is something that was going to fail, it was going to do so with old fluid too.

I think it's time for a rebuild. If not now then later. Just my $.02 though.
