Heard bad things about the jatco box, is it beneficial changing the fluid for the jatco fluid, also is it right you can only change half the fluid without having to strip the box down?

Have you heard bad things or bad noises? If only bad things leave well alone, if it aint broke don't fix it.
 
When you do a fluid change some oil remains in the torque converter and can't be changed. Only way to improve on that if it's necessary to get crappy oil out is to change it twice.
 
Then i agree with jonfre, leave well alone. Perhaps have a fluid change a little earlier than the recommended 60k interval though.
