In my opinion, the so-called "transmission service" is the biggest ripoff in the auto repair business. Takes 10 minutes to hook up the lines and flush someone else's dirty fluid through your trans, what a waste.
I pull the pan every 20k and change the filter, refill with about 4 quarts of fresh fluid on my Dodge minivan. I take the filter apart to see what's in it, too. So far just normal shavings/friction materials. The filter is a paper or cloth that seems to filter pretty fine particles. Also have to have the pan off to clean the magnet!
On the Honda, I can't change the filter (stupid design) so I drain about two quarts every other oil change (about 10k) and re-fill with fresh. Has a magnet on the drain plug that always seems to be full of shavings. Had the dealer flush it at 60k only to follow manual recommendation to protect my warranty.
Get on your back, get dirty, and pull the pan. New filter, clean the magnet - if no magnet, a perfect time to put one in.
