Auto Transmission Fluid and Filter Change
 

I am ready to change my AT fluid and filter. Any special issues, other than extreme cleaniness, that i need to be aware of? Thanks.

drain the torque converter too and replace the ATF filter.

I know where the drain is for the transmission, but not the torque converter. I assume I remove a cover plate and rotate the converter to a drain plug. Does it fill when I start the engine and put it in gear? Thanks

yes, it fills itself easily.

remove the cover, turn the torque converter and you will see the drain plug.

I paid to have my flid and filter changed about 30K miles ago, I would like to do this one myself. Would it be ok just to change the fluid and not the filter at this time?

on transmission, yes. but on engine, always change the filter too.
