I have Redline MTL, Do I Need to Chg. Tranny Filter?

I've already done a search, and read old posts. None mention replacing the filter, or droping a pan or anything like that. Just a fluid change. My car has 109k on the odo, and I don't know too much about the car yet, should I consider or do I even need to replace anything else aside from the fluid itself?
Thanks,
-Walter

The tranny doesn't have a filter, just a screen. If you have particles big enough to get trapped in that screen, your tranny is probably done for already...

Redline MTL or Redline MT-90 are gear oils for manual transmissions only. Therefore there are no filters or pans. Warm it up fully , turn it off, let it sit for 10 minutes. Open the fill plug first(to make sure you can). Open the drain plug second. Drain it completely. Torque the drain plug to spec. Fill it up. Check it. Close the fill plug. Drive it around again. Park it again. Open the fill plug and check the level again. Close it up...

Thats it.

Is there a seperate fill location for the auto trans fluid or should it be filled via the trans dipstick tube? I haven't done this before, and that's where I was told to fill it. . .
