Automatic Transmission Filter
 

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find the transmission code tag/stamp on my 2004 Santa Fe 2wd with a 2.7 V6? I think I should replace the filter but I heard different things. One of them was if it does not have a 'spin-on' (mine does not), then it can only be replaced by taking the transmission apart. In other works, just change the fluid.
I also heard that if it has a transmission pan, then there is a filter there and can be replaced. My Santa Fe does have a pan sitting vertically towards the front.

If I know the transmission code, I might be able to find out if the filter is replaceable or not.

Thanks in advance:cool:

The filter is deep inside the trans and not serviceable That's why regular fluid changes are important.

Thank you much. I will proceed with the ATF change.
