I have a manual trans ready to install, but the auto won't die. I'm in no hurry (to damn busy) to crawl under and R/R, so add I do.
I'd save your money. $900 is about 1/3 of the job. Wait till it dies / wears out.

I'm in the same boat.
I hate to see good transmission fluid go to waste, but I think it is a bonus to have a constant slow replacement of the fluid onging.
My leak rate is variable, and I think somewhat weather dependant but I haven't really tracked it that well.
I just check it periodicaly and if it leaks below the dipstick mark I can usually feel it in the shift preformance.
