I would look into replacing that filter soon.
Every oil change?? I'm pretty sure the filter is good at 60,000 miles, I've already done 3 drain and fill over that mileage which is probably overkill to begin with. In reality your tranny would have lasted 184k with no changes I'd bet.
No... I drain and fill a little over 2 quarts on each oil change. Filter about every 2 years.
A friend's Corolla transmission took a dump at 198K on original fill. So that will be the true test, if I get past 200K.
What I meant was your doing a tranny drain and fill at every single oil change? I usually get 2.75 quarts on my drain and fills, the last one was 30,000 miles. I think I'll stick with 30,000 intervals. I think transmission fluids (even Toyota ws) can last a decent amount of time/miles.
