I only run flushes through mine anymore and never drop the pan. I've never had a "filter" (actually a screen) come with anything on them yet - much less with enough debris to make you fear that it might clog.
I used to drop the pan and drain the converter on my older stuff (C6, C5, C4, AOD, AODE) but never found anything in them except once in the while on a car I just bought that hadn't been serviced like it should. Local transmission repair shop said that the "wear" particles on "modern" transmissions are so small they pass though the screen - unless you're abusing the transmission causing large wear chunks. They felt that a flush - especially one that started with a solvent to clean the gunk - was better than simply draining the fluid. I started doing that in the 1990s and have only had one transmission fail since - a 2004 Dodge Stratus with only 18K on it. The 5 Star Dodge "Service" Center put 6 quarts of the reclaimed oil back in it after they installed a new pump. I got rid of that car.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
