Should I change my atf fluid

I’m back with another question, sorry but I’m changing my serpentine belt and spark plugs tomorrow so while I’m feeling motivated I wanna see if I should also change my atf fluid. It’s a 06 Sonata 3.3L v6. I bought it at 94k, can’t say for sure if it’s ever been changed. And I unfortunately neglected to do it myself until maybe now. It’s sitting at 147k and the fluid is a little bit brownish. Manual calls for the first change at 105k. I know that’s bs and should be done way more often than that. It’s shifts just fine now but I was thinking more just drain some out. Maybe a 1/4 or a 1/3 and replace just that as to give it more protection from newer fluid. What’s your opinion on this? I’m sure I know the answers will be just leave it but I’m just hopeful maybe I didn’t neglect it too much. Which was dumb for me as I religiously changed the oil every 3k since I’ve had it..

Well when you drain it only less than a third of actual fluid inside comes out so I would drain that much and replace it and if it has a filter I change that too
