When to change tranny fluid ?

My car just turn 4300 miles. I just did the diff. fluid change to clean out metal shavings from the new differencial.
But I am not sure when I should change out the tranny fluid also.

What I means was any kind of metal shavings from the diff. . Not necesssary from the engine itself...for the engine...it will required an oil change.
