Hello looking to replace my transmission filter, what do you guys recommend.

 

definitely worth it if your car is getting up there in miles. Ive been stranded on the highway from a clogged transmission filter and had to get an expensive tow.

I can't even imagine how many people have replaced their transmission completely when they simply had a clogged filter. In my case transmission had already been replaced previously but they never flushed the lines before installing new tranny.

Since I did not want to use Form in place gasket for the transmission pan, I just doubled up on the paper gaskets that aftermarket companies provide. No leaks so far.

 

did you use a oem filter or what brand did you use

 

These transmissions don't really even have filters, they have a pickup with a strainer. They are reusable and unlikely to ever clog up. Nothing but a metal screen.

 

I went to a local tranny shop and the dropped the pan and changed the fluid. They also located the pressure dial and changed it to max pressure. $149

 

I've seen a video on how to do it. I can do that my self. Thanks

 

i used a autozone filter to be honest....no problems for me

 

Spending that time and effort why not just change out the filter with a new one? The filter has cork material seals and those seals do not look like they last forever. So I wouldn't really recommend reusing them. Strainer/filter same difference, it blocks out metal shaving. Also clean your magnets on the oil pan. Sludge build up from neglected tranny do clog up these filter.



There are a bunch of diy for tranny filter replacement.
