Automatic filter replacement?

Has anybody here changed the filter in their automatics trans? How hard is it to change this filter? I have changes filters on GM auto trannies, 700r4, 350, etc. Has anybody flushed out all the fluid in the auto trannies before? Does the tranny fluid run through the bottom or side of the radiator to help warm it in the winter and cool it in the summer? I know that is what they do on GM trannies.

i would think its the same with all auto trannys

Some where I read that you have to remove the transmission and diassemble it. I haven't gotten a manual for car yet. So I am not sure.

i doubt it. it would be too hard. its probably jsut like every other auto witht he filter on the bottom. how much of a hassle that would be. honda woudlnt do that to us

i did mine about 1k ago. pulled the dip stick out, unscrewed the drain plug, let her flow. i checked out the manual, and saw nothing about a filter. i believe honda has spared us, and left it completely out. also, i'm pretty certain that the tranny fluid doesn't leave the tranny. however, i am not 100% on the lack of a filter and the absence of an oil cooler/warmer, but pretty sure.

trans gets too hot, it needs to cool somehow. usually runs to radiator. if there isnt, this is the first ive heard of it

U'r right, i just went out to double check, and it does have a line running to and from it. so y doesn't my manual tranny have a cooling system? not trying to sound like a bumbling idiot, just lookin to understand as much as i can.

Manual transmissions don't have any external cooling.

yes i know they don't my question was y does the one and not the other.

There is a lot more friction in an auto trans which = more heat
