To be honest if I were to do this job again I would just change the fluid and leave the filter alone. It’s much less of a headache and you won’t have to worry about the exhaust which would be the most challenging part in my opinion. Aside from that it’s not likely a filter change will have any real benefit since it’s a closed system. In addition there is some speculation as to what the service interval actually is for the transmission fluid and filter is. Lastly be sure that you have some sort of pump to get the fluid into the transmission before you get started because as I show in the video there is no dip stick for this transmission that you can fill through. You also need to be sure to use the proper fluid, I’ve got my fingers crossed that the MaxLife that I used will hold up fine, so far it’s been about 2 months since I shot this video and it seems to be fine. In all it’s not a bad job there are just specific procedures that need to be followed to be successful with it.
