Transmission fluid flush

So right now im at the dealer and they are swearing that i do not need to replace the external filter on my torqueshift... I however know it needs to be replaced my question is can i replace this my self without draining the fluid first?

you need air or electric impact to remove then install by hand with a wrench or you may bend the pipes.

That is correct. Just did mine & an impact to remove it is a must. I lost so little fluid I didn't even need to add after the filter change.

Never had to use an impact on mine. The tranny will take exactly 8 ounces to refill. Make sure you use only Mercon SP or LV fluid.

Maybe mine was never changed then but i was starting to twist the lines it felt like. Mine needed to be "shocked" loose. Once I broke her loose with the impact took her off the rest of the way by hand.
