Tiptronic Fluid Change Q

so i know the AT fluid is supposed to be "lifetime" but the maintenance schedule recommends a change at 90k (i just hit 90k). my indy shop recommends against doing it since, as he says, "most problems happen after it's changed."

i'm wondering what other's have experienced after changing the fluid. i've noticed (last 5-10k miles) that shifting is getting (on occasion - maybe twice in the past 1k miles) harsher. it seems to slam into gear and there's a very noticeable jerk once it changes, almost always on downshifts.
