[xj40] Transmission Fluid/ Filter Change?

In reply to a message from Purr-Elle sent Tue 4 Dec 2007:

I do a drain/refill of my trans every 2 or 3 oil changes. I
changed the filter once, but since it’s a simple metal
screen and after 100K still clean, not sure I think that’s a
necessary step.

I probably do the partial changes a bit more frequently than
really necessary. Both my XJ-40’s had quite discolored
trans fluid when I purchased them and I got into the habit
of doing the trans every oil change till the fluid cleaned
up. Now, I almost feel like I’m shirking my duties with
skipping an oil change or two between doing the transmissions.–
The original message included these comments:

How many miles should a 1988 XJ6 go before the next transmission
fluid/ filter change?
