How do you clean the filter? Pls excuse my ignorance.

I'm not planning to take sump off, just to replace ATF as I guess its never been done.  Would like to get the gearbox software updated too and planning to ask Hotel21 nicely to do this for me once oil change done.
You won't get the oil out without removing the sumps (there's 2). I would buy the kit 2 gaskets and filter from Jpat, (numbers above) as its saves alot of messing about and time ;) Oh and buy a new bottle of shampoo as the old atf stinks and it takes alot of washing to get it out of your hair. I used washing up liquid last time ;)

there is no drain on the autobox, only i fill/level hole. So as Pete says you have to remove both large sump(one with the level hole) and small sump (forward of large sump) to remove the max posible amount of atf, as TB says its not possible to remove all the atf as some is held in the torque converter, box off to remove that.

Filter can be cleaned simply by washing it out with parafin or similar oil based cleaner. The filter material is like scotch pad oven cleaner type material, but alot less dense, its only there to catch large pieces, the magnet will catch finer particals in the sump. This is also backed up by Mark dtm replys i've seen i'm fairly sure. As is the advice re instant gaskit, although i do prefer to use gaskits personally, just saves a few quid if you already habe the correct instant goo. So in theory it possible to do the job with just 6-7 liters of atf. My local auto box man did the job on his ramp for £60 oil supplied, which saves the mess on the drive and the nasty itchy rash atf can give, it drys out your skin after long exposure.

I had the choice of cleaning filter,however it's still on a garage shelf wrapped in news paper. Had I not ordered a new one to play safe I would have simply re-used it as I took it off. On very close inspection it was Ok, cleaning with solvent might in this case have risked contamination, the magnet was coated with a very fine slurry so I suppose I am pleased to say after 80,000 mls an indicated no wear on autobox,still can't understand why I got a T/C "Autobox service req".  :y :y
