Probably a myth. I have had my car serviced every 60K for trans fluid with no issues. Still, you wait, it will eventually have issues. There has been NO science that shows that the trans will throw a hissy fit and commit hari-kiri. Quite often, it is a "Hail Mary" job by the owner who has long neglected the trans and it breaks soon after. I had that happen to me. Only thing was that the trans was already showing problems. Off for a clean set of fluids and it broke. It was on the way out already.
