Yes I downloaded a service schedule which states filter at 40k. I have done mine with filter again at 84k. Only 70 bucks more to clean it out wellQuote:

Not changing them just means more wear as the old is does not do its job. 1000's for a rebuild because of early wear vs <100 for a filter and oil ? No contest!

Isnt the tranny filter just a wire gauze?
"tranny filter" sounds like something you need on the internet!Quote:

sorry, all lr's have trans coolers for the auto boxes, but yes a few later d2a manuals lost their trans coolers.

End of the snowboarding season here in NZ and the D2 TD5 started struggling to make the mountain carpark. Seemed low on power at first and then the auto started "slipping". Rev counter would bounce up a couple hundred RPM.
Several hundred KM's later and back home, off comes the trans sump and fluid. Had a slight burnt smell to the fluid and the level was low (estimated from the amount drained).
New filter and 5L ATF and what a difference - smooth changes, no more slip.
Out of interest, I pulled apart the old filter and was surprised how much gunk was blocking the mesh. Photo uploaded to the AULRO gallery here: http://www.aulro.com/app/showphoto.p...filter/cat/500
