I just want to know where the location of my transmission filter is and am I going to be able to change it while I'm doing my fluid change? can this be serviceable or in the middle of the transmission?

Hello,

I have included all the information necessary to do a transmission fluid and filter change on your vehicle down below in the diagrams. Here, also, is a link that you should check out as well:

Hello, I'm Danny.

When you remove the transmission pan you can see the filter where it mounts to the valve body of the transmission.It's held on with 3 bolts.You can remove by hand after removing the bolts.It is best to change the filter when doing a service to replace the transmission fluid. I've attached two pictures below showing its location.Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
