Transmission Fluid Change?

My 2012 HONDA Civic has 118,000 miles. The maintenance minder says I should change the transmission fluid?
Also, when I’m accelerating, when I get to high 20s-mph and until I get into the mid 30s-mph, my car vibrates a little more aggressively and feels like it putters a little bit. And then when I go a little faster it’s fine and back to normal.
Do you think it is a good idea to change the transmission fluid. I got an hestimate of $240 to have the transmission fluid replaced.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I purchased with 85K miles from friend who was good on regular maintenance so I assume they may have changed it. But I am not sure.
