I only run flushes through mine anymore and never drop the pan. I've never had a "filter" (actually a screen) come with anything on them yet - much less with enough debris to make you fear that it might clog.
I used to drop the pan and drain the converter on my older stuff (C6, C5, C4, AOD, AODE) but never found anything in them except once in the while on a car I just bought that hadn't been serviced like it should.
