So i've been thinking about this since i did the 3X3 method on the 09 Elantra automatic a couple weeks ago, the transmission fluid is now bright red, shifts and engages gears great,(9.5 times out of 10, but will get a slight jerk into reverse if conditions are just right, a "normal" driver will not even notice) but i did a little research, and see i can drop the pan to change the filter, and clean the magnets.. Is this worth doing? I'd use Hyundai OEM filter, with Maxlife ATF.
In my mind, i did not do a "complete" job because i did not change the filter, or clean the magnets, and i'd assume, (you know what they say about assuming) that the filter is original, and affecting transmission flow or something, and the magnets are full of that black clutch plate material.... thus is not able to pick up any more material.
Or am i just slightly too OCD, and changing the filter and cleaning the magnets is a complete waste of time for this transmission, as long as i keep up on the 3X3 fluid changes?
This is the OEM Hyundai Filter only $29 https://www.hyundaipartsdeal.com/genuine/hyundai-filter-assy-valve-bo~46321-23001.html
Thanks for all input!
