[Shotimes] To service or not to service?

[Jonathan Zane]

Over the years I have learned to leave some automatic transmissions alone.
This is especially true for late 70's and early 80's cars.  Regardless of
how much you like the like the car and want to keep it tip top, servicing
certain automatic transmissions would just result in the trans slipping very
badly or even not moving at all shortly after the service.  What have people
experienced with SHO ATX?  My 140k mile transmission is doing the typical
high mileage stuff.  No slipping just funky up and down shifts.  I would
like to service it but if there's any chance of making it worse I'm going to
leave the sleeping beast alone.  Also, what fluid is best for a trans with
this much mileage?
