should i change my fluid?

I bought my Expedition (5.4, 2wd) about a month ago. It had 188k miles. The PO (who is also the original purchaser of truck) said he has NEVER changed the fluid in the truck. It doesn't smell burnt but when it shifts into OD it shudders about like when you run off the side of the highway on those grate things that are there to get your attention or wake you up. One place says don't think about it. One place says do it.

What should I do? Will a fluid change stop the shudder? I put stop slip in it at the advice of a ford tech I know. Nothing. A shadetree mechanic I know said a fluid change will stop the problem.
