I wouldnt contaminate new oil with old debris. My vote is change it. Although they do say the filter only needs to be changed every 20,000 miles or somehting like that. It also depends on if it is a permacool filter or not. Still, my vote is change it, it sure isnt going to hurt anything if you do.

how are you canging the fluid are you just draining the pan? because that wont do much

If it's only been 10k I'd just do a drain and fill. Doing that every 10k is a good thing and you really shouldn't need to do anything more. The 'filter' inside the trans is just a screen and only strains huge particles.

If you're referring to the recall filter for the '92 & '93 MY cars I'd probably change it every 30k.
