Thanks to everyone on posting so much of useful information on Transmission oil change and other issues.

I was going through the following DIY thread:

I am a novice and have few questions.

Why do we have to change the Oil Strainer and Filter. Can it not be cleaned?? If the original filter is a metallic mesh then i would assume it can be cleaned with Alcohol based cleaners?

Thanks a lot to everyone in advance.
