Should I flush discolored transmission fluid?

Asked by Michael Summers on Thursday, May 18 2017 for a 2008 Toyota Corolla L4-1.8L

I have a 2008 Toyota Corolla with 193,000 miles. The transmission fluid has become discolored. I’ve heard that changing discolored fluid can result in a transmission failure, because the dark fluid signals that there is damage. I’m not noticing any shifting problems.
