Change Transmission Fluid?

I bought a 1997 Ford F250 HD with a 7.3 powerstroke that had about 215k miles on it. the transmission sometimes shifts hard and i don't know if changeing the fluid might help . can anyone instruct me on changing the fluid on an E4OD. ( I know how to check the level)Change Transmission Fluid?
When changing the transmission fluid from just the pan, only a little bit of transmission fluid is changed. Change the fluid completely by doing a complete drain and refill. You can do this yourself at the radiator transmsison lines. Do a search on the web for transmission flush.Change Transmission Fluid?
changing the fluid and filter might help the shifting, especially if the filter is dirty.Change Transmission Fluid?
Don't mess with the fluid unless you know that it has been changed at 30th. mile intervals. If you change the fluid after all 215K miles you will mess up the tranny.
