Hi
Iam going to change the Automatic Transmission fluid and filter. When I get the pan off could you explain the procedure of taking out the old transmission filter from the auto. Does it connect by pulling off filter? or does it need to be done in a certain way.
Kind Regards Mark
PS What brand filter do you recommend ? I have looked at the West/fil, WCTK-100

once pan is off you should be able to see how the filter is held on pretty easily, usually with a long bolt type adapter. as for which type of filter , I am from the US so unfortunately I have never heard of either of those brands. Do you not have A/C Delco brand available?
