An automatic transmission filter is a filter element installed in an automatic transmission. The purpose of the filter is to prevent deposits and wear products, contamination elements and other debris from entering the transmission components. Clogged with dirt, the filter is not able to pass a sufficient amount of liquid, due to which the oil pressure decreases. It protects the system from the ingress of harmful particles that enter along with the transmission fluid.
