Transmission Filters & Transmission Gaskets

Changing the automatic transmission filter (most manual transmissions do not use a filter) at the required year or mileage interval (in many cases, every two years/ 30,000 miles) will help to ensure no clogs or interruptions in trans fluid flow and pressure. More importantly, harmful debris and contaminants are more easily captured, which can harm internal transmission components. This results in longer transmission life and less gear slipping in most cases that would result in the need for a transmission repair kit to restore proper operation.

Having a high-quality auto transmission gasket kit (constructed from rubber or cork) properly installed will result in a leak-free and long-lasting seal that will prevent troublesome puddles under your vehicle. External leaking will eventually lead to a low fluid level, which If not properly maintained, can lead to transmission damage.

There are a couple ways to identify the correct transmission filter and gasket kit you need for your application. The first way is to search by the year, make, and model of your vehicle on the JEGS website. The second way is to search by your transmission type. If you do not know which model transmission you have, you can narrow down the possibilities by the shape of your transmission fluid pan / cover and the number of bolts holding it in place and comparing it to a reference diagram available online. A JEGS tech support representative can also help you find the correct filter and gaskets.

All transmission filter and gasket kits available at JEGS are made with high-quality components and assembly. The best manufacturers on the market include TCI, JW Performance, Fram, JEGS, and more. These filters help keep fluid clean to optimize transmission cooling and operation.

In most cases, reusable automotive transmission filters with a metal screen can be cleaned with brake and parts cleaner. For heavier deposits, a nylon brush can be used to break up filter housing debris followed by rinsing with brake parts cleaner. Wiping down the filter with a lint-free cloth before installation helps as well.
