Default Transmission flush at 75k miles?

Hi guys, i have a question for you guys? I have 07" IS 350 i bought it brand new ten years ago and now has 75k miles on it, but lately i can feel it does just a little hesitation to down shift and up shift in gear 2nd and 3st, and i am thinking to treat my babe with fresh fluid since ten years i have her, but my dealer want $305 plus tax, do you guys think it is expensive, and is it easy to do it myself? Thanks in advance

My advice is to take the pan off, replace the inside filter and pan gasket with new ones.

Then refill about 3 liters of new Toyota WS ATF.

I did it on 2 of our MY2008 is250, one with 60k km and the other with 125k km. Its the first ATF in Both and feeling better after the ATF and filter change.

If you decide to go to this route & change the pan gasket. Can you please take some pics of the transmission?
I'm looking for info if the 2IS has this also.
