Anyone change 6MT transmission fluid (MTF)?

I have a 2000 Odyssey an waited until 30,000 miles to change the ATF per the manual. I was very disappointed to see a lot of metal chips in the fluid and on the magnetic plug. Also found out you only can drain 3 of 6 qts with each change. Would need to change 3 times to get 87.5% new fluid.

Anyway, I had wished I had done it much sooner. I am approaching 4000 miles and was considering changing the MTF with the oil change.

Just wondering if anyone had done this themselves and could relate their findings. Thanks in advance.

I had it changed at 5000, and when I asked the mechanic who did it, he said he didn't see much metal flakes...

it probably depends a lot on how you drive........I would check it out at 10 or 15k, 5k is not very long on tranny fluid.....but then again, it wouldn't hurt to see
