Default Is the transmission fluid changed when they replace clutch?

I'm going in tomorrow (Dec. 7) to get the latest clutch replacement (PCX-055) -- I'm right at 15000 miles -- so I'd kinda like to get the transmission fluid changed while I'm at it -- Will they be changing the fluid anyway since they'll be removing the transmission??

I'll give updates after the fix -- this is the second clutch -- the noise just keeps coming back!

Actually the answer is No not Yes (Ref: Helm Manual 12-7). Severe driving requires a fluid change at 30K. If you do get the fluid changed you might want to have it checked. Email "www.blackstone-labs.com" for a sample taking kit (free). For 12-15 bucks they can give you a hard metal count and compare it to other samples which have been submitted. Do a search on Blackstone Labs if your curious.........

P.S. Tell em Utah sent ya and you may get an S2K discount as they are developing a model database on all our fluids.

The answer is depends but probably not. Here's why:
1. It is not necessary to change the tranny fluid to replace the clutch. 2. It was done as a no charge courtesy two times a decade apart when I had new clutches installed.
