- The filter/pickup in the pan is just a screen. Not much of a filter. If the trans has been neglected, it can get clogged up, but it really isn't a normally serviced part.
- I would suggest doing the simple version of fluid exchanges - just do a drain and fill with each of the next few oil changes (say, one every 5k miles or so, 3 or 4 times) and you'll have mostly nice fresh fluid in the trans.
- The trans isn't that picky about fluid. Get whatever Dexron III or better fluid you want.

PS. Guys, it is DEXRON. No T in there.
