I just got the new Haynes repair book and under
the transmission oil change it says it only needs changed at 100,000
miles and it must be removed to change filter and oil ? Anybody try
to change it in place ? I like to change mine at 30,000 miles and never
had a transmission fail with this :nerd:

Yea, a lot of us have had to go through withdrawal symptoms with all of the changes to today's vehicles. Transmission filters tend to be rock catchers anyway, so it's not that big of a deal. You could always add a Magnafine filter if it makes you feel better.

That they are doing away with dip sticks was hard to adjust to. On the plus side, this transmission has a drain plug, making that operation much easier. Getting the proper fluid level takes a bit more effort.

So am I to understand that there is no filter inside tranny ? If
so adding the external filter would be great !:wink2:
