A transmission filter traps contaminants carried in the fluid so they don't keep circulating through the transmission. Over time a filter can load up and restrict flow. If a restricted filter is contributing to delayed engagement, erratic shifting or transmission noise, this kit replaces it. Those signs can have other causes, so diagnose the transmission before replacing parts.
The filter is commonly replaced as part of a transmission fluid service. Refill with the fluid type and quantity specified in your vehicle's service information.

How does this filter keep unfiltered fluid from bypassing it?
The filter uses a lock-seamed, sealed assembly and application-specific sealing components. They are designed so fluid cannot bypass the filtration media.
When might the transmission filter need replacing?
It is commonly replaced during a transmission fluid service. A restricted filter can contribute to delayed or erratic shifting, but other faults can too, so diagnose the cause first.
Which transmission fluid should I use after installing it?
Use the fluid type and quantity specified in your vehicle's service information. The included gaskets are designed for use with today's transmission fluids.
