Have it changed, the filter as well. If there is any concern about old gunk and debris being loosened by the new tranny fluid, then do a second fluid/filter change after running it for a short period of time, the second change will catch all of that. ATF contains detergents that will clean/loosen gunk, so it's not the backflush that dislodges that but the new fluid. It's NEVER a good idea to leave old dirty fluid in a beat tranny. Change it, and change it again if you have to.
