Give such low mileage, should I drop the pan and change the filter and fluid, or should do a straight fluid exchange?
I would go with dex/merc which would be my first choice, not Dex 6 which is for GM transmissions and a much lower viscosity. . Drop the pan so that you can clean the crud out that settles on the pan bottom. The filter is just a rock catching screen which can be cleaned. If you find the plastic plug floating around inside, you will know that pan has never been dropped and fluid and filter are original. I would also check the vacuum modulator by seeing if fluid leaks out of it after pulling the vacuum line off it. Being that old, I would replace it anyway after you drain the fluid out.
Sure. Recommended a ATF which is thinner than LV fluid after 10K miles of use. Are you going to recommend changing the ATF every oil change to keep the viscosity up?
I don't know where you get your silly ideas. Thinner than LV after 10k miles? It will take a lot longer than that. Put LV in a 79 transmission, that's brilliant. Mercon V would be a much better choice than "LV". Where's YOUR facts? You are just blowing smoke again and displaying your lack of knowledge on the subject. KEEP ON TROLLING!
It's not trolling.
It's called a UOA I posted about a half dozen DEXRON III ones and the cst dropped into the 4.0 range after 30K miles of use. You must have never read one. It's not surprising you would have to make the effort to read rather than regurgitate the garbage you tend to spew. I hope you understand how to read.

At 10K miles already at 6.0cst right at LV fluid range.
You can comprehend this?
