It will also give you a better chance to see how much debris is present.

Many people say that if you do not change the fluid regularly, you should not suddenly do so at a high mileage.

Appreciate you response. I will do this as recommended. Is the amount of debris, you mention, indicate anything that I should be concerned about?

You expect to see fine metal particles attached to the magnets, but what you don't want to see are flakes of the bands. If you see any of those in the pan, you know that you are nearing the end of the useful life of the tranny.
