Hi there, with my 1994 V6 automatic isuzu bighorn I need to remove the filter for the transmission and I was just wondering how to do that, do I have to drain the oil? What is the name of the pan I have to unscrew?. Could you please provide as much detail as possible as i do not know much about vehicles. Thanks.

I suspect you have other problems with the box and you have been advised (wrongly) to change the filter. This will not magically fix it. For specialist in your area www.fedauto.co.uk

the filter is normally inside the gearbox sump which means draining the oil, BUT if you do not know how to do this go to an auto transmisson garage as you need to replace the sump seal and to run though the gears when filling up with fluid, i know it will cost but if you do not know what you are doing you could end up with a bigger bill.
