Fresh fluid is better than old fluid. Fresh fluid won't hurt a thing. Crusty fluid isn't holding the transmission together.
I fully understand that old fluid is not holding the tranny together, however all that clutch material will not be drained with the old fluid and some will be left in the tranny. The new fluid may cause some chunks to fall off and cause possible issues.
All I'm saying is: don't expect to exchange all fluid after so many miles and walk away thinking that it will last another 150k miles, not with that kind of change interval.
