Re: 96 Corolla Transmission
The flat, rectangular metal piece that holds the screen is the tranny filter and should be changed at least occasionally. There is filtering media inside that will eventually become saturated. But for those who are fastidious about fluid changes, I'd say replace it maybe every other or every 3rd fluid change (since my drain plug is frozen, I do it with every change since I have to drop the pan).
I also tend to change all the fluids whenever I purchase a vehicle just because I like to: a) get a better look at the car's maintenance condition, and b) peace of mind in having fresh fluid in there.
Hope this helps!
