Why are Transmission Filters Part(s) Important

A dirty Transmission Filter limits the flow of transmission fluid to your transmission and that’s all it does—if you’re lucky. Unchecked, your starving filter could suck debris or contaminates into the transmission’s internal system. That’s why it’s important not only to buy the right filter (your trans filter is not the place to engage in the round-peg-in-the-square-hole experiment) but also to check it regularly and, if need be, change it. Otherwise you won’t get to see what your machine can really do.

Like with most machinery, the transmission needs lubrication to dissipate heat and minimize wear on the moving gears. The fluid comes in different thicknesses depending on the type of transmission in your car. And, like any lubricant, dirt can limit the effectiveness of it which is why transmission fluid filters are required and must be changed regularly. Dirt in the fluid can cause heat to build up and accelerated wear that will limit the life of your transmission.

If your transmission filter isn't working properly, you could be losing power and jeopardizing the safety of everything that filter is made to protect.

Fram Transmission Filter This transmission filter removes dirt and debris from your transmission's oil that may inhibit lubrication.
