Im doing a pan drop and fluid change on this 2006 beetle. Filter is the screen type, and had the normal amount of small grit from the clutches. I have cleaned it with brake fluid and compressed air, and was going to re-use it. Any reason why I should not do this? Every post on forms has people changing ths filter.

How many miles, and is there any filter media or just wire mesh?
144,000 KMs, and no media just wire mesh

Probably just fine to reuse as long as any seals are still good. Your call, just be sure it’s back together properly. The fact that you are able to clean it is better than some trannys that you can’t swap the filter at all without splitting the case…
