They started putting one in the cooler lines between the transmission and the radiator. I find it interesting that even in the '06 CR-V FSM there is no mention of the existence of the filter (at least none that I could find). It is only shown in the parts diagram for radiator replacement in the engine cooling section, and in that picture it is the one component not identified. I had to look at the parts diagrams at Majestic to verify that it was indeed the transmission filter. |
