changing transmission fluid/filter

So, I read a few other posts in regards to this topic, but any input would be greatly appreciated. I have an 02 7.3 with 112,000 miles, just had the rear main seal replaced about 10,000 miles ago, should i still change my transmission fluid? would the fluid in the torque converter be changed during this process, would they have likely changed the tans. filter? the fluid itself looks burned inside the container, but when i put some on my fingers, there were no suspended particles, and it appeared pink. thanks alot!
