I'm not too sure I agree with the statement below. Although you may not
be able to drain the entire amount of fluid from the tranny, I think you
still should change the filter. The machines (at least the one I saw in
action) simply hook up in the tranny lines and as your old fluid comes out,
it is replaced with new. The machine didn't really do anything that I saw
other than hold the fluid since the tranny itself was doing the job of
pushing the old fluid out and bringing the new fluid in.
I'm not a tranny expert by any means, but I wouldn't think clean fluid
would matter if the filter is becoming clogged. I would take the time to do
it myself. It's not very difficult, and you can save some money at the same
time.

Is it a stick or auto? If it's an auto, you really should have a shop do it
with that big machine that fully flushes the system.
