Gene, Those Trans filters are not cheap when you have to change them.

Tim, my Crusadar guy told me if they look clean, to just spray them with a carb cleaner, let them dry and put 'em back on. They are metal on my 2007 models. Naturally if they were to show sludge or over a period of a couple changes I would change them. I did one side last night and there was no hint of dirt or metal particles @ 80 hrs.
