A transmission filter traps particles and debris carried in the transmission fluid. Over time it can load up with contaminants, so it is commonly replaced as part of a transmission fluid service. Delayed engagement, slipping or erratic shifting can be among the signs of a restricted filter. These symptoms can have many other causes, so diagnose the transmission before replacing parts. Install the filter and the new gaskets together, and follow the vehicle service information for the correct fluid type, fill procedure and fastener torque.

How does this filter keep fluid from bypassing the media?
Its lock-seamed, sealed assembly and application-specific sealing components are designed so unfiltered fluid cannot bypass the filtration media.
What are signs the transmission filter may need replacing?
A restricted filter may contribute to delayed engagement, slipping or erratic shifting. These symptoms have other causes too, so diagnose first. Many owners replace the filter during routine fluid service.
Should I use the included gaskets when installing the filter?
Yes. The kit supplies new sealing gaskets for installation with the filter. Follow the vehicle service information for the correct fluid type, fill level and fastener torque.
