when you put the new fluid in it won't have all the nasty little particals in it. the new fluild will sometimes allow the tranny to slip. a pcv valve allows the intake to pull a slight vacume on your crank case keeping presure form building up and forcing oil out the seals.

Well, you could spray it with Carb cleaner. Shake it some, you should hear something rattling inside. If not...REPLACE IT!
