The dealership said typically, you don't EVER need to change the filter/screen unless the transmission has suffered some type of damage to where there may be metal fragments floating around in the fluid.
It's true. Not only should you never change the filter, you should never change the fluid either, you'll end up doing more harm than good. I've got two echos with >200,000 miles on each, and I've never done anything with the Transmission Fluid or filter, transmission has never slipped or had any problems whatsoever. Timing chain and water pump don't need replacing either, they are built to last.
