depending how old the tranny and how well it has been maintained...yes. If this is your scheduled fluid and filter change 100,000 miles or less then absolutely. If you are just topping off levels go ahaed. However, if you are reinstating a used tranny and are putting new fluid into it, PAying great attention to the surface outlining seals and the seals will greatly improve your odds, od tranny fluid does get debris in it that does not get caught by the filter so if you were to put used tranny fluid in with new, make sure it is free of debris.
