The "how-to" section only goes as far as dropping the pan and replacing the fluid that is in there, not completely exchanging the fluid until fresh fluid starts coming out by using the iterative process of breaking into the transmission cooler line and idling the engine to move the old fluid out.

Is it really necessary to replace the gasket seal, or is this the reusable type? In the photos it looked like rather thick rubber, suggesting that it is reusable.

Also, is the filter a media filter or just a screen (which is reusable)?
