[QUOTE="scott degroot, post: 993261, member: 66039"] Eddie, There are a few other trannies out there that are the same way, about the best we can do is flush them. Typically I find that the filters aren't really dirty as most of the contaminants build up in the bottom of the pan so I believe that overall fluid condition is more important than the condition of the filter and if you do have a filter that is heavily contaminated something is going on inside the trans that needs attention. What I don't like is the increasing number of vehicles that don't have dipsticks for checking vital fluids, that to me is alot worse than a non serviceable trans filter. Mustang Guy, I can't say that I agree with your theory on FWD vs RWD. There are some repairs that are easier on fwd cars than on rwd cars and vice versa and from a manufacturing standpoint I don't think any one is cheaper to build than the other. [/QUOTE]
