Default You should ask the following:

1. How many miles are on the vehicle?
2. When was the last time the transmission fluid was replaced?
3. How many times has the transmission been driven hard?
4. Is the transmission slamming into gear?

If you have any doubts you may wish to take the car in for a fluid replacement.

I recommend replacing the transmission fluid at least every 25-30k miles.

Hope it helps.

Default Replace all fluids.

You may never know what comes out of your transmission.
