Front Trans Filter Insert cracked
I changed auto trans fluid for the first time this last weekend. All went well thanks to the info I got from this forum.
However, when I removed the small filter housing up front, removed the filter and cleaned everything up, I found that the small hard plastic piece (with the spring on it) that's in the bottom of the filter was cracked in several places. It was still in one piece but I don't trust it's structural integrety at this point.
Has anyone else ever noticed this? Does anyone else make an after market (metal) replacement for this?
