I bought the Chilton's manual that says you can replace the transmission filter on an 2002 Santa Fe. You cannot, the filter is located in the transmission and per my dealer does not need to be replaced. Good news, there is a transmission drain plug it's a bolt roughly 2-3 inches in size (you can't miss it) so you can drain that old fluid.

Do not remove the transmission pan if you don't have to. It doesn't need to be removed to drain the fluid and is a pain to clean and reinstall.

However, it is recommended to use Hyundai fluid. It costs $2 more per quart but more affordable than a new transmission. 2/

Where is the transmission filter located on 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe?

The 2004 Santa Fe transmission doesn't have a serviceable filter. There's one deep inside the transmission, but the transmission needs to be removed and disassembled to get to it. The only time that filter would be replaced is if the transmission were overhauled. This is the answer I found online, and after trying to change the filter on a 2002 Santa Fe, I believe it completely.
