Duh! I meant the transmission filter!

 

So, I bought the X Transmission product and new filter and tranny fluid from the dealer. Jacked up the car and crawled under. COULD NOT see any filter for the trans.

 

'05 OBW. 4 Speed auto with "manual" shift option.

 

Where the heck is the filter???? Is there some kind of cover over it? I mean, heck, it's a spin on; it ought to be visible, right???

 

Thanks!

It should be on the drivers side of the trans. Under the area where the Dipstick goes into the trans.

 

However, I have seen a few later model trans that don't have a filter, just a bypass cap where the filter goes.

 

If you can't see a filter, look for a cap about 3 in in diameter, with a 19mm nut in the center of the cap. Side of the trans, just behind the diff, under the dipstick. If you have a cap there.....return the filter.
