Mine is 2002, so it sounds like I should have the quicky connects. I have never had a car with this type before, but if there are no problems with creating leaks and such I will go for it. I have already dropped the pan and changed the filter and fluid, so I will have to do the opposite of you and change filter first, then start the car and catch the old fluid until it comes out clean. Seems the same result either way, only I don't have to drop the pan again after it is full of clean fluid. I also thoroughly cleaned the pan and the magnet before replacing.

So just to make sure I am clear, the pink looking thing is the clip that holds the quick connect line in, and I just slide it off the line with a pick or such and then pull the line and slide it back onto the line? Then when I am done I just slide the line back into the tranny case until it clicks and all is well?
