Since the new stuff is reputedly very expensive AND you're not going to be able to get all the "old" fluid out I think you should just consider topping it off with the "old" style fluid. I don't think you'd be getting the full benefit (if any on a tranny not specifically designed for it) with your dilution.
If you DO decide to go that route please confirm the price of the new stuff? I think I read earlier somewhere around $25 a liter?! I guess though that when you can afford a 7-speed transmission it's a moot point.
The magnet is as thick as a refrigerator flat magnet or credit card. I haven't seen any instructions for placement other than just "...insert in the pan." It's good you're thinking about possibilities though
