The Transmission Fluid filter typically sits at the bottom on the trans oil pan. the oil in the trans gets picked up through the filter, and then proceeds through the gears, (and clutches if an auto). With a dirty transmission fluid filter, it'll be full of metal shavings and particulate. This, in turn, will not allow your trans to get the required amount of fluid....Causing heat and premature wear....It can also cause your transmission to hesitate....Which can be unsafe when making turns through traffic. Hope that helped you. Good luck!

Where is the automatic transmission filter located on a 2003 2.0 Mitsubishi Lancer you changed the transmission fluid but the filter is not located inside of the pan as on many older cars?

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.

i dont think there is one just a drain and fill. if there is a spring and ball in the drain pay attention to how they come out. i blew my trainy by not putting them in right. Honda Accords do not have transmission fluid filters. That is why they recommend changing the transmission fluid so often. If you can change your own oil, you can change the transmission fluid - it is easy.
