I know I have mentioned this before, but when I have replaced the trans filter I use my vacuum/ suction pump and got almost all of the fluid out of the pan before I remove it. Makes the job a lot less messy. Getting the seal for the trans filter out of the bore can be a real pain. I used a large flat head screwdriver and carefully pried it out. Since I extract trans fluid from the dipstick every 12,000 miles I quit replacing the filter every 30K. I'm going to replace it at 50K and see how it looks.
