The real problem with dropping the pan is the corroded fill tube nut along with the exhaust bracket, both of which turn this into a major production. In my experience, just draining works fine. Even if crud is in the bottom of the pan, it tends to stay there and not go back into the fluid.

Per the 700/900 FAQ under the "features" button above, you can buy a cheap vinyl hose at the hardware store for the flush. And your idea about flushing with cheapie fluid, driving it for a while, then flushing with better synthetic, is a good one. Get synthetic Mobil 1 ATF at Autozone for about $5 per quart. You will need about ten quarts for a full flush.
