What you have to ask is this: do you change your engine oil filter, but leave the old oil filter intact? Treat the transmission the same. Drop its pan and change the filter too.

I changed my filter and put too much fluid back in. I only used the pump to get the excess fluid out. I always change my filter when dropping the pan.
