Default Hi mileage pan and filter change

Do you think this is a good idea with hi mi trans or is it the "kiss of death"?
Not flushing, just filter and fluid?

I really depend if the trans is acting up or not? if not then there's no reason not to.
Most people don't bother with changing trans fluid until it starts fuking up.

Well "sometimes" My astro van will shift a lil hard, the s10 is a little weird going into 2nd and my suburban, my son says the 1//2 shift to. "Maybe" I could change the solenoids on them when I drop the pan.

Do it. If it goes out shortly after you were on borrowed time anyway. Ive personally had pretty good luck with 700/4l60e, even higher mileage ones, never an issue after a service. I sold an astro with 280k and the original 700r4 still kicking like it was brand new. And my stock original 4l60e now with 150k plus still going strong in a buddys car (stalled since 100k).

I changed mine at 150k after a cam change, filter and new fluid, worked fine no issues.
