3rd gen auto gearboxes have an internal filter. Check out the workshop manual.

aaah cool. Goes against what I had read previously on the forum. It would be nice if it was a seviceable item, like the 2nd gens.

Actually I shouldn't say that. The earlier 3rd gen auto gearboxes have an external filter. I think maybe the 3L engined ones.

I've actually edited my earlier post to reflect this. Sorry.

I've had a little bit to do with spares for a Mitsu dealer. They have never sold an internal tranny filter the whole time that they had been running the computer system (About 8 years). Says a bit to me about the serviceability of them.

if you have an awd the reason no-one replaces the trans filter is its internally located, to swap the filter they need to seperate the gearbox from the engine to remove it in other words its too expensive labour wise. your better off (like i do) servicing the box on regular intervals

That's why our tranny needs need to do a full trans power flush every once in a while to clear up the crap in there and to clear up the filter.
