If you want to flush it with clean fluid, you would be reducing your chances of issues.

Duly noted. Thank you very much.
I will be dropping the pan. New filter. New gasket.
How is the fluid removed from the TC? Does everybody just leave it in there?
What fluid would you recommend for the flush... as I will be concluding with the Pentosin 1 ATF.
Thank you.
