750F Transmission Filter: How To Clean

Is this filter easily cleaned or do I need to spend the $50 for a new one?
About to drop the pan & change fluid as well as a new gasket for the pan. The filter seems to be pretty durable but I don't want to screw it up & have to do this again. Truck has 85K miles. Thanks.

 

It's pretty simple. Its just a mesh screen. Some simple green should clean it right up. I dont recommend brake cleaner cause its known to eat plastic and ruin rubber seals. But a good dowsing with some degreaser and a rinse will clean it no problem. FWIW I just replace it for peace of mind.

 

Just replace it.

It's been 6yrs and 85k. These transmissions are basically bulletproof. It's worth 50 bucks for a new filter ..

 

I totally agree.

 

Another for replace. You already went through the effort to get in there...
