So i just change my transmission oil. While taking the external filter off I dropped everything in the drain pan. I'm not sure how it goes back in. Is the spring before or after the black plastic bottom piece. And which way does the bottom piece go with the swirls up or down. Thanks guys.

 

Where is Mark Kovalsky?
He would know on the order.

You should edit the topic to say "Changed transmission oil? HELP!"

If you don't know how what you do is EDIT > GO ADVANCED >Then you can
change the TITLE/subject.

it goes from bottom to top: aluminum external filter housing, spring (with the spring end facing downward, and then the filter(roll of toilet paper ). make sure to put a new o-ring on the filter housing.

 

I think I may have goofed. Found a picture on the computer (not too clear) but it seemed it go's from bottom to top, canister, plastic insert with rings facing up then spring. But it seems very hard to assemble this way. Spring seems like it will crush bottom of the filter???

 

Spring faces downward. On the backside of the spring/ plastic insert, there is a small pin that fits in the hole of the filter.
