Transmission is slipping after car warms up and driven for a short time. Was told try changing the filter but every video I find is for a later year. I just want to know where the trans filter is located exactly on specifically the car listed above.

Good morning,

The filter for your transmission is internal inside the transmission.

In order to replace it, you must remove the transmission and split the case in half.

What is the issue?
