There is one missing step in the instructions for removing the filter from the transmission.

Close your mouth.

Yech!!!

I was a full arms length away and tugged on the filter. It came off easily but fluid scattered everywhere and a bunch found my open mouth. Yech!

Mine wasn't falling! It shot sideways and took a quick left turn into my mouth from almost 3 feet away!

ah.. your transmission is a jedi master..

hard to dodge, the transmission fluid is..

 

I posted about this when i did my valve body. Face full!!! Just a prewarning though....your skin will remain silky smooth from the mercron. Smooth as a baby's ***!!! I got it in my mouth, nose, eyes and ears.

 

I managed to turn my head at the last second and only got an ear full

 

LOL THAT HAPPENED TO ME TOO!

I mostly got it up the nose but I got some in the mouth too.

We should all sue factory Tech for not warning us.

No no no....

The instructions very specifically read
"Filters under the influence of the Dark Side will spray fluid with amazing accuracy into your mouth, even if you're in the waiting room of a transmission shop doing a professional install, HAZMAT full face protection is recommended"

Or maybe that was the part the Lawyers made me edit...
If you punch a hole in the filter first, it gets most of it

I don't remember reading any of that in my directions. But no sweat. No pain , no gain!!!!!
