Do I need to change my transmission filter?

Hi,

i got my 06 TL around 86k and i have driven to 96k

I dont know whether the previous owner ever changed the transmission fluid
and the filter. i sometime get a little nudge as if hitting a brake from going 30 mph to 40 mph. I was told to drain and refill the transmission fluid 3 times but can i do that in a day or do i have to give few days expand of each drain and refill?

Also, https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/c-036-diy-transmission-filter-replacement-pics-787078/ is this how

you change the filter? i thought the transmission filter is located underneath

and inside of where you drain the fluid out?

If your unsure if it has been changed i would do a 1x3 and wait between to see what happens. There is a filter you can replace and several screens under selenoids that can be cleaned out.
