No but given the car is on 242,000 miles and I'm pretty sure it's never been changed, I suppose I can't complain. 

In that case, I would check the level, add however much is needed and leave it well alone.

The shock of changing the fluid will probably kill it stone dead.

The shock of changing the fluid will probably kill it stone dead.

Why would it do that?

Cant prove it but I had my filters and fluid changed and 2 days later the box had a hissy fit throw up a load of codes and died.

You're all doing a good job of talking me out of this!

Don't have one of these 'engine cleans' either, it's only the crap that stopping stuff escaping everywhere.

When I had an omega, I asked my local garage about changing the gearbox oil and filter.
Owner asked if I was having problems with the box, when I told him no....he said leave it alone then.
He's not one to turn down work and he wouldn't himself have done the work.....so it wasn't because its a messy job...
So, I'll leave it to draw your own conclusions......
