I am slowly starting to work on the 60k tune up, but am a little confused on the transmission filter, has anyone changed this themselves? And if so what tools will I need and how to I go about doing it?

Thanks in advance!

On What year and model????????????????????????????????
If it is a D2, if you read your owners manual, you don't need one.

 

Hey mike are you saying it is not part of the 60k service on a DII or are you saying that a DII does not need a transmission filter change? Thought it was at 90k myself but I'm too lazy to look at the moment.

 

Rover says only at the 30,000 which they did for free.
I say if you buy a used one at around 120,000 it might not hurt if you don't have any service history. Do a drain and refill, as it gets older do a drain and refill every 20,000 miles or so if you tow or wheel alot.

 

Unless you know for a fact that the trans filter has been changed at the 30k mark I would go ahead and change it, it will only take you a extra half hour on a DII and it never hurts to change a filter.
Change the fluid every 30k and the filter every 60k and the transmission will out last you.

 

Im with Spike tbh..........

Ask yourself this.....

would you change your engine oil without renewing the filter ?

 

how do you change a tranny filter for a d1? I have a series 1(97) with almost 130k on it.

 

I just went through this on my '98 D1. After looking it over, I gladly paid my mechanic $200 to do. You have to remove the exhaust y-pipe and a crossmember to access the pan/filter. Not that it is undoable by any means though.

 

I agree with Kenk, have it done as it is a royal pain in the rump on a DI.
The bolts for the cross member will be rusted as will the exhaust bolts, pay the money.
