Transmission never serviced...

Transmission never serviced...
Original owner of 2000 A6 Avant Quattro. 100k miles. 2.8 liter. Tiptronic.
I am ashamed to admit that to my knowledge the transmission has never been serviced. Maybe fluid "topped off" during routine maintanance, but I have never taken it in specifically for tranny service.
The car runs great. No slip or any other sign of any tranny issues.
Was I supposed to have serviced the tranny and, if so, when?
Given that I didn't... what should I do now? I want to keep the car for another 100k miles.
Thanks.

Thanks. I've heard there is a concern in doing it at this point and, when I do it, I should keep my old fluid and actually put some of it back in along with new fluid.
Question is... do I just perform a normal fluid/filter change, or should I do anything special given that the fluid is so old?

fluid/filter change. Do not reuse old fluid.....why do a change if you're going to reuse old fluid?
www.blauparts.com has a great kit for tranny service.
