I'm wondering if I really need to drop the pan and clean the screen, or if changing the filter would be enough. The I know the screen catches debris and the magnets should be cleaned though. Bought my cube with 93k and immidiately did a fluid change. Have 135k now. Runs good, but need to do at least the filter and fluid.

Thanks!

I did both since to get to the little round pleated filter you have to drop the pan. No biggie if you don't change the screen. But be on lookout for any excessive deposits, bits, or pieces. Clean magnet. I used amsoil cvt and the results are great. Much more solid firm feeling.

I’m in agreement with Skylinekd. Drop that pan to change the filter and clean the screen and magnets. I’m coming due for another transmission service, and I’ll try the Amsoil fluid. Thanks for the tip!

I’m including some pictures from “The car wizard “ YouTube channel. They gave me a nice visual when I did my first service. Fortunately, my tranny didn’t show near the signs of this one.
