Its always good to replace the tranny fluid Steve, a flush is usually over board but if you drop the pan & replace the filter & fluid you should be good.......

The fluid in there now is clean so if you drop the pan, replace the filter, the gasket should be re-usable, then refill the fluid you will be fine.....

There should be a magnet in the pan, just grab it with a rag & wipe it clean then put it back after you've cleaned out the pan......

Its up to you if you wanna try and change more fluid & do that flush...

Good morning New Jersey, happy Friday! Steve, when was the last time you had it done? I have mine serviced every 30K or so.

Thats right Steve, some fresh fluid and a new filter & clean off the magnet, thats how we did it for 30 yrs & never had a problem .......

Now if the torque has a drain plug you can drain it there too.......

You dont have to change all the fluid but its yer call
