Frequent changes would not stop clutch pack breakdown, even if you had a constant supply of brand new high tech expensive fluid the clutch packs would still wear down over time.... that is just the physics of how it works. If the transmission failures were due to fluid lubricity failure it would be bearings/actual gears and metal parts that failed, but the friction material on the clutches will inevitably wear regardless.
