A "good" tech would tell you to upgrade the clutch, at least get the spring. If it's slippin different fluid won't help.

The tech is tryin to save him some money till break in is complete. It is possible the no good tech has had some experience with this. He may need a whole new clutch like you say but till break in is done no need to get his drawers in a twist.
