In my opinion, there is nothing "useless", about cleaning the strainer/filter.
Yes, it is a hassle; you have to drain the fluid,remove the pan,etc. It's a messy task.
Why do I say this?, well,about 5 years ago, my 85 240 AW71 tranny started slipping, and I had a parts car, so I replaced the trans. with the one from the parts car...After completing this brutal task, I checked the strainer/filter on the original trans, and it was clogged...in other words, if I would have simply cleaned the filter, the original trans would have been fine....Switching trannys without first checking the filter/strainer, was one of the most idiotic and stupidest things I've ever done, and to this day I kick myself in the ass for not checking/cleaning the filter.
