I have never had an issue with letting Midas change/flush the fluid. They let the transmission pump do the work and don't use an external "power flush" or "reverse flush". Most transmissions have a fine screen - not a filter. If the wear particles are big enough to catch in the screen your transmission is toast anyway.
However - since this is a "new to you" at 153K I'd go old school and drop the pan. You can inspect the magnet that is in the pan and see exactly how good or bad the wear is. You can also change the "filter" and see what has accumulated in it. You only get 5 quarts or so out leaving 3-4 quarts in the torque converter. Then at the next interval (30K) I'd start doing flushes. I would actually shorten the interval and do the flush to 20K especially if its seeing lots of towing for the next service.
50-50 shot the transmission still has the original fluid in it.
