To the OP:
My 2 cents is just use drain plug and refill with DexIII/Merc and do that a few times (DRIVE it some between the drain/refills to get it mixed in well) then drop pan and change filter. Low pressure flush I guess. My fluid was at correct level but brown and smelled burnt. At 100k miles I had a tranny flush and now Im at 154k miles no problem. After the change to some new tranny fluid my AW4 shifts way better.

Don't even bother with the filter, er I mean screen.

Change fluid using the plug every 30,000 miles under normal service and every 15,000 miles for severe service like postal delivery etc.
