Yes. But do it anyway. Probably won't make it any worse.

Recognize that you'll probably be doing a fluid/filter change again in 5-10K miles. You'll know better when you drop the pan and clean it out.
You might consider dropping the valve body and cleaning out the crap above it/in it as well. Solenoid valves, etc.
