I have a 1999 ES300 I went to do a transmission fluid change.
The filter I pulled out of it does not match the kit. Back at the auto parts store we checked filters for Lexus 6 cylinders from 1995 to 2005 and found no match. we did the same for Camry 6 cylinders and also no match. Is there a place on the transmission I can get a number from or does anyone recognize this filter and Pan?
Here are some pictures.
Please help. My car is up on ramps.
Thank you

ok, by not original you mean a different transmission from the one the car came with but the same model transmission because unless the car is modified it's hard to think what you mean.

if you mean an entirely different transmission then you need to provide a model number for that transmission.

The filter and gasket specific to that transmission all link to the model number.

There might not be a gasket for that pan, it might be sealed with 'sealer', failing that you might have to make a gasket by tracing the outline of the pan onto a sheet on gasket (you can by it by the metre), and cutting it out.

well it's neither of those. I wonder what it is.
