Automatic transmissions and SMG models require the use of specialized filters to keep the fluid containment free. Be sure to replace yours according to the manufacturers recommended service intervals to extend the life of your transmission.
Over the life of a vehicle, the transmission can often be overlooked when performing routine maintenance. If left unserviced, the automatic transmission fluid will break down, causing the valve body and filter to become contaminated with deposits and sludge. This will lead to poor shifting, slipping, and ultimately transmission replacement.
