That if you have not changed your trans fluid in about 23 years or so, don't do it?

I would

Change it and adjust the bands. If there's a bunch of metal or clutch linings in the pan you might as well just drop it out and go through it.

I never had a car that changing fluid would magically fix problems inside it. If it's low to being with, okay, but if fluid level is right up, I've never found changing it to help on my cars. Not saying it's impossible, just saying I never lucked out that way.

Changing fluid on a tranny that is not working right and have it work after the change is likely because a plugged up filter gets replaced too.

and you can add me to the list of one who had changed fluids only to need a new rebuild severla months later. Its was almost like the clutch material in the fluid was somehow keeping the clutches happy. when I removed that material and put new fluid in, all heck broke loose

If it's been working for 23 years and it still is why mess with it? keep going till it breaks then just rebuild the whole thing.
