I posted a pic of the only filter i have found for that transmisssion the internal one that can only be changed if the transmission cases are split.The filter only gets changed if a internal repair is made.I also posted a pic of the only pan i see on the transmission all it does is cove the valve body there is no filter under it.I also havent been able to find a filter for sale at auto zone http://www.rockauto.com etc.So unless you see a screw on one i cant see there isnt a filter to change when you change the fluid.
