I do this. I've decided to change the gasket and filter somewhat less frequently and change the fluid more frequently. When I extract the fluid using a topsider, I get out between 2.0 and 2.3 quarts. So what I do is do it several times over the course of several hundred miles. If you do the math, doing this four times gives you ATF that's about as pure as it would be if you drained the pan and the torque converter....and you've used just a little more ATF than you would with the conventional method.
