its entirely up to you what you do. i've seen flushes save transmissions but some vehicles it doesnt always work out. the 4r100 depending on the cooler and radiator takes 18-20 quarts of fluid so it can be a pretty expensive flush depending on who does it.

If there's metal in the pan and the fluid smells burnt, start looking for another tranny.

That is natural after that many miles. Take the pan off and clean it, then put new fluid in with a new filter. That should be good to go for another 100K.

Burnt fluid is not a good sign though.
