Audi Automatic Transmission Filter Kit

The automatic transmission filter is installed to filter out dirt, debris, and metal shavings to ensure the transmission is operating efficiently. Failure to replace the transmission filter can result in the fluid overheating because of a clogged filter and put your transmission assembly at high risk of failure. We recommend to always replace the transmission filter when performing an automatic transmission service.

This Kit Includes:

Automatic Transmission Pan w/ Filter
Automatic Transmission Pan Gasket
Automatic Transmission Pan Bolts
Drain / Fill Plug

Please Note: Genuine VW Audi does not produce the transmission filter kit for the ZF8 transmission. ZF and Hengst have partnered up to create this product for VW Audi to sell under the Genuine VW Audi brand.

Transmission Filter Kit

The transmission oil filter prevents harmful particulate matter from entering the transmission valve body and damaging valve body bores, solenoids, and other fluid passages. Foreign particles in valve body bores, solenoids, or passages will cause shifting issues. Some of these issues include delayed shifts, harsh shifts, or no gear engagement in extreme cases. Clogged filters can reduce fluid volume and flow in the transmission causing starvation of the transmission pump. This can be identified by an RPM-dependent whine from the transmission bell housing area. The transmission oil filter should be changed during any fluid service, and it is critical to replace the filter if major transmission components are replaced such as the torque converter, transmission pump, or transmission valve body.
