Default AU III transmission slipping when cold only

Hi guys

The old mans AU III Falcon ute tranny is slipping.
It only slips when cold, from gear changes 2-3.
After the tranny warms up a little, there is no transmission slip. The tranny shifts pretty damn smooth after it's warmed up.

My main concern is that in the 300000km+ he's covered in the ute (bought new off the showroom floor), he has NEVER done a transmission service.

Would it be safe to do a service (drop pan, replace filter and refill with new oil)?
Or would it be best just to leave it until it dies? He has already resigned himself to a rebuild/replacement unit; I was hoping to spend a little cash in order to prolong the life of the tranny.

Any thought on the matter appreciated.
