Hello, 91 240 wagon, 175K... I am writing to ask about the sequence of trans filter change in relation to flushing my transmission fluid due to an erratic shifting problem I have been having. I read in the archives about flushing the transmission fluid, I just didn't see anything about whether it is best to change the filter before or after the flushing procedure. What do you guys think?

    I always used to drop the pan to replace the filter screen, but I never found a dirty one, so I stopped looking. Then I learned that Volvo doesn't think it's worth the effort either, per this Technical Service Bulletin posted by Gregg Shadduck on Feb. 10, 2005...
