Should the Automatic Transmission Filter Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission filters do need to be replaced, typically alongside the transmission fluid change, approximately every two years or after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. The transmission filter, also known as the transmission screen, is installed inside the transmission and serves a filtering function. It removes impurities and contaminants from the transmission fluid, thereby protecting the transmission. An automatic transmission is a gear-shifting device that automatically changes gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM, as opposed to a manual transmission. It mainly includes four types: hydraulic automatic transmission, continuously variable transmission (CVT), electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmission, and dual-clutch transmission.
