Where's the transmission filter? Help please	Sign In

Hello I'm new to this fourm so bare with me. So I have a 2004 Hyundai xg350 with I think a 5 speed auto. So I can't seem to find the location of trans filter. So from what little research I could find is that from 2000 to 2002 the xg350 had a spin on trans filter on top of engine and was discontinued in favor of an internal filter. But I have an 04 and I can see where the spin on once was. I have changed filters befor but I only ever worked on American cars. The trans pan is sideways to but I keep getting mixed answers that its internal as in pulling most of the trans apart is this true? Not a simple drop pan type of change. So I drained pan, well it had a nut to drain the pan, easiest drain ever and put what it could take which is about 5 qt. most was left probly in torque converter. When I bought the car recently was downshifting hard so I decided to unhook negative cable on battery hoping it could relearn, and it did stop downshifting hard now it just shifts kind of sloppy from 2nd to 3rd like it's almost delayed? Not slipping but the RPMs are going to a little to high for a normal shift like it doesn't want to grab at the normal RPM range. Thanks

Hello,
One of 2 transmissions in this car F4A42(4 speed) or F5A51(5 speed). Either way the filter is internal, this transmission has no pan but has a side cover for the valvebody. So if you wanted to change the filter you would have to pull out the trans, split it open and install a new filter(not fun) Cannot drop a bottom pan because there is none, so the only thing you can do is a drain and refill.

Thanks for the help guys...I figured it would be a pain maybe I'll opt for a complete transflush to back flush the filter. Or just wait a few more months to drain and fill some more.
