transmission fluid change dilemma (108,000 miles) 700 1992

Hello,

The AW70/71 has no replacable filter. The filter is a wire mesh screen that can be cleaned, but it isn't really necessary. Typically all that is needed is for the transmission to be drained and then flushed. No need to drop the pan if there is no replacement filter. Also, in my experience, the pan bolts tend to corrode fast and break off if attempted to remove. Then you're really in trouble, as you need to remove the broken bolt pieces. Anyway, I hope this helps.
