Ok, here is my opinion and what I recommend to my customes on this...

Unless your tanny fluid is extremely burnt or full of metal shavings I would just have the fluid and filter changed. If your fluid is burnt then another way that I suggest to my customers is that the fuid and filter be changed about 3 or 4 times in the up coming 6 -7 months. Unless the Torque Converter has a drain then I suggest changing it one other time about 2 months later.

Also if there is not one I will put an Inline Tranmission Filter on.
