Automatic Transmission Filter

High quality automatic transmission filters

The transmission filter is designed to filter the clutch and band particles that are suspended within your transmission fluid. Your transmission filter removes these particles from the transmission oil to prevent these particles from clogging the valve body. The clutches and bands are made of very thin material designed to operate in the transmission fluid. The transmission shifts by changing fluid routes through the valve body. The transmission valve body has many small valves with tight clearances. Clean transmission fluid supplied by your transmission filter is vital for proper operation.

What does an Automatic Transmission Filter do?

Transmission filters are designed to capture a variety of contaminants to protect the transmission system. Some of the most common contaminants include:

  1. Metal Shavings: These can come from the gears and other moving parts within the transmission.
  2. Dirt and Debris: External contaminants that enter the transmission system.
  3. Clutch Material: Worn-off material from the clutch plates.
  4. Oxidized Fluid: Degraded transmission fluid that forms sludge and varnish.
  5. Rubber Particles: These particles are from the seals and gaskets contained within your transmission.

The transmission filter's ability to capture these contaminants helps maintain the cleanliness and efficiency of the transmission fluid, ensuring smooth operation and longevity of the transmission system.

Transmission filter replacement

Most vehicle manufacturers recommend that you change the transmission filter and fluid every 30,000 miles or every two years.When changing your transmission filter, you'll change the transmission fluid and transmission pan gasket as well. Replacing these items is very easy and can be completed in about an hour.

What you will need to replace your transmission filter:

  • A new transmission pan gasket
  • A new transmission fluid filter
  • Transmission fluid recommended by vehicle manufacturer

Replacing your transmission fluid and filter will help extend the service life of your transmission. Vehicle use plays a major role in determining your service interval. Towing heavy trailers will require a shorter change interval.
