First, if your transmission is shot, changing fluid won't cure it. However, if the transmission is still good, changing fluid can help keep it that way.

Since the fluid is already discolored, I change it using non-synthetic ATF. If that helps the shifting, run it a few thousand miles to make sure everything is OK, then flush it again using synthetic ATF (I'm partial to AMSOIL).
