A new inline transmission fluid filter should also be installed during any transmission overhaul, exchange, repair or if internal contamination is present. If the vehicle is equipped with an inline transmission fluid filter a new filter only needs to be installed. If the vehicle is not equipped with an inline transmission fluid filter, a new inline transmission fluid filter kit should be installed.
