The inside filter is inside the transmission you have to split the case of the transmission they only get changed when a internal repair is made thats not your problem.Do you have a delay/bang when shifting it into reverse?Also any trouble codes in tbe computer?

Sounds like you have a low line pressure issue in the transmission from ethier a loose input shaft nut or a worn pressure regulator bore inside the valve body.With doing a pressure test on the transmission with a transmission pressure tester gauge its hard to say.
