I have been searching for the answers to the following questions without any success! Anyone know

1. on a 96q,does the small round AT filter located behind the radiator need to be replaced? How often? what is the part #I have flushed the transmission every year with M1,but never touched this part.

2. I have flushed the brake fluid annually,but what about the ABS and Traction control systems,how do you exchange the brake fluid in these systems,or does the standard flush route the new fluid through these 2 systems as part of the flush?

The external transmission filter is designed for the life of the transmission but by definition this is approximately 100,000 miles.

The traction reserve tank atop unit should be sucked out and all systems bled till clear. It may take a few liters of brake fluid with some driving in between to cycle the systems on. There are bleed valves on ABS and traction modules.
