Yes, it is a good idea to change out the fluid when doing the repair.

DEXRON-VI Automatic Transmission Fluid.

Please let us know how it goes.

They already changed the oil and did repair. Now they want to change it after 2000km driving. Couse new parts make a lot of dirt.

Transmission doing fine, but when i put in R i feel a slight vibration, that only lasts a second.
Is this common?

It depends on the vibration, a slight vibration is normal but if it is uncomfortable, you could have a transmission or engine mounts going out, can you upload a short video of the problem so I can see? You can upload it here with your response.
