Absolutely! This should be done periodically, say around every 25,000 miles. The fluid should be drained, then the pan removed so you can change out the internal filter(s). Yes, the transmission has a filter inside!!

Replace the pan and plug, then fill (using the correct filler neck in the engine - one is for engine oil, the other for Transmission Fluid) to the line on the stick. Start engine, led idle until warm. With foot on brake, run through all the selector gears slowly several times, then with the engine still idling, recheck the fluid level. Transmission levels can only be checked with the engine running and at normal operating temperature to get the correct readings.

Drive about 5 miles normally - don't race - then recheck the fluid levels again, add if necessary, but be careful not to overfill. Transmission fluid should be checked at least monthly, if not weekly. Proper preventive maintenance of your vehicle will make it last lots longer.
