When the fluid no longer look red. Transmission Fluid normally doesn't have to be changed that often.

For a manual transmission, maybe after 100K. The manual transmission fluid is thicker and hardly ever breaks down. Unless the gears are clashing, etc.

But for an automatic transmission: that would depend on how you drive you vehicle. A good idea for a transmission fluid change would be every 3rd to 4th motor oil change.

The transmission fluid is completely different from motor oil, but will eventually wear out.

I say a fluid and filter change. It is usually a bad idea to get a transmission flush if the transmission is doing good, so far.

Do you change the transmission fluid in a manual?

A manual transmission does not typically use [automatic] transmission fluid, or "ATF." As it is just a gearbox, it is usually filled with "gear lube" oil formulated for the task. Whatever type of lubricant is specified by the transmission manufacturer, it should be changed occasionally due to oxidation breakdown with heat and time. Consult the owner's manual for the proper fluid and interval. It should be much longer than an automatic transmission.
