The filter is located behind the torque converter in the Lancer. Changing the filter is a long process and is recommended only if there is an issue with the transmission.
The 02 - 05 lancer's do not have a transmission filter. This is why it is recommended to replace the fluid ever 30k miles
Transaxle filter?? Does not have one. It does however have a transmission filter that is located inside the transmission.
m1-108. chech out evolutionm.net and type lancer oil change or oil filter for more details.
I have a 2002 lancer and I have had to change the transmission twice. when we went to change out the first transmission we were going to change the filter just to have fresh start and we ran into the same problem as you. We called a transmission company and we were told that you had to completely disassemble the transmission to get to it so generally u just dont change it. This was the dumbest thing ever but upon calling other companies it sadly seems to be the truth.
