Default Gs 300 tranny fluid change

hello all
i have been reading some threads about changing the fluid in my GS300. I have noticed when cold tranny will slip until I rev the engine or hit the gas while driving to increase the fluid. After that, all is good.

Here re is what is was thing of doing. Since the fluid is dirty, I was going to change the fluid by sucking the fluid from the dip stick with an extractor. I will then replace thebfluid with the amount that was extracted. I plan to do this over time until the fluid looks clean. After fluid looks clean, I will then drop the pan and replace the filter.
Does anyone see wrong with doing it this way. I rather not start the car to push the fluid out.

Also I'm assuming the fluid should be between the hot marks. But should it be in the middle or toward the upper end of the hot marks
thanks

Do a drain and fill. Drain out as much fluid by removing the drain plug, measure the amount that came out refill with same amount. Use genuine Toyota fluid.
I did this on my car a few months ago and added an trans cooler as well.
