95Continental

I have inherited a 95 Continental and have been told that the tranny fluid has never been changed..Now with 148,000 miles it is not shifting perfectly from 1st to second (kinda jumpy)... in a syndicated column called "Click and Clack" a person had a similar problem and the mechanic said "don`t change the fluid and filter because that might cause the tranny to quit working because the sludge and varnish in the old fluid was keeping it going and changing it to a working lubricant fluid would make not work".....well Click and Clack said that that is B.S and the fluid and filter should be changed immediately and that the story is an old wives tale.......so I went to AAmco to have it done...and got the the old wives tale story...not to change it..as they wouldn`t be responsible and I would have to sign a waiver...they couldn`t get any codes from the computer about the tranny....can anyone bring some clarity to this scenario? all suggestions appreciated..
