Transmission filter
Hey guys, I was just wondering is it really necessary to change the filter? By the way I have a 95 ls400 with 122k miles. Thanks in advance for any replies.

The link below may help you to decide. It was when the odometer was at about 150,000km.

If the pan has never been dropped and cleaned, there is likely to be a collection of clutch residue on the bottom, not causing any problems. If the fluid is very old, and you shock the system by adding fresh fluid, there is a chance that the additives in the fresh fluid will dissolve the sediment, allowing it to flow through the AT and cause problems.

That makes sense, but here's a counterpoint to consider:

I would drop the pan if i were you. No need to waste money and replace the filter. Clean the old filter screen and reuse. If everything looks good, you never need to drop the pan again.
