[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 2585420, member: 718"] My experience is that if the filter is restricted with sh!t, it is already too late and the tranny needs an overhaul. Never seen any benefit from changing an auto transmission filter. My Ranger auto has a licensed ZF and it does not have a drain plug. To drain, the sump has to be partly removed, which is a bit of a palaver. Once the sump is off, then it is easy to change its filter, but I wouldn't bother otherwise. My Land Cruiser, which has a four speed Aisin-Warner, has had its oil changed twice, maybe thrice, but never its filter. Just coming up to 185,000 hard miles now and shifts like new. Its probable that a washer in the torque convertor lock-up clutch will fail first, because it is a known issue, but extra oil changes, and certainly filter changes won't prevent that. From memory I don't think Mercedes recommend filter changes anyway, but I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
