This is why I like to drop the Aisin tranny pans and clean things up,
using Fram ATF kits ($15-20) which includes a new strainer and cork-
rubber gasket that seals well.
These relatively dirty Aisin transmissions do not have a filter like
domestic transmissions. Smaller debris flow freely through the system
in contrast to the clean post-filter fluid circuits of the likes of GM
Hydramatics.
Strainers are less likely to plug up, but to maintain transmission
health the debris still needs to be cleaned out periodically by
dropping the pan, *not just drain/refill*
For those who work on their own every 12-15K miles. Cheap enough at
$25-30 parts and fluids.
