I have used the search and found conflicting threads some say there is just a screen to be cleaned other swear there is a filter to be replaced. I have a 99 and would like to know which is correct. I know the dealer says just a screen to be cleaned, but I also have known the dealer to be wrong. so whats the deal?

 

Hi, I recently replaced mine, it was just a screen, and so was the filter in my friends Nissan. I am looking into a larger trans cooler and while I have the lines apart I am going to install an inline filter element since the screen is just that! You can go to an AutoZone and have them look it up and hand it to you, open the box and see if you have an element or just the standard screen which I am 99% sure that’s what you have, its not that hard to replace, just a little dirty. I used Mobile 1 full synthetic and my truck shifts smoother and quieter than it has in YEARS.

 

I think the confusion comes because it is just a screen and you can either replace it or spend some time cleaning it. Mine wasn't very dirty @ 100K miles but what was in it was very fine and stuck in the screen so I just replaced mine. The magnets were very dirty though, so clean them off good and put them back exactly were you found them.

 

any one have part #s

 

I got my new screen from Auto Zone.
