Should have changed the filter at the same time as the fluid, really.

If your transmission starts acting funny, drop the pan, run the fluid through a strainer/filter (T-shirt in a collander) and you can reuse it with a new filter, as long as it's still pinkish red. If it's discolored, or has a burnt smell, discard and install new fluid. This time, check to see if your torque converter has a drain plug.
