Transmission filter
How often should the transmission filter be changed? I've got 61,000 miles & have done the transmission flush, but I don't know if the filter has ever been changed. (bought used w/ 51,000)

hey Greenlariat
i just got my 97 ford 4x4 not too long ago and i just changed the fluid and filter at 55,000 miles but am getting ready to get new front and rear gears and since the magnet was pretty dirty i will go ahead and get it flushed and a new filter again at 60,000 just to be safe. better safe than sorry when it comes to my truck.

Had my tranny flushed and the filter changed at 56k. Had it done at the dealer and it was aroud $160 after tax I think.
