Kinda tough to say without knowing what kind of a tranny you have. I'm guessing you have an automatic.
Check out the FAQ on fluid flush from BrickBoard...

I would not touch the tranny pan nor anything near the tranny. I do it at the upper cooling line on the radiator. Use two opposing wrenches on that line. A 1" open end on the nut against the radiator. And a 15mm (I think, maybe 14mm) flair nut wrench on the fitting.

Is another site with a step by step flush procedure. The one drawback to just flushing is that it does not clean the screen. I would do them together.

When you drop the pan and change teh filter, you'll get maybe three litres out of the transmission of about 8 litres.
Get a pan gasket too, if you ask at a spare parts shop for a "filter change kit" you will get teh filter and pan gasket.
So I suggest you go ahead and change the filter and refill with oil, then go for ashort drive, open the drain screw on teh trans (or remove dipstick tube if you don't have a drain plug) and drain again.
That'll give you a good amount of fluid change. I generally drain my auto transmissions yearly.
