How do you change the transmission filter?

On the RL4F03A (4 speed auto trans) how the hell do you change the filter?

Holding the filter is a bolt that goes all the way through the valve body with an attaching nut and washer on the other side. I just got through swapping valve bodies when I noticed the bolt is not even on the opposite side of the VB it’s sandwiched in the middle somewhere. WTF!

How does Nissan expect us to change the filter?
How would a mechanic even change that filter? This seams crazy if you ask me.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks
Seth

James,

You saw a decrease in mileage? How much? I never noticed a decrease in mileage. I have always been amazed at the mileage I got. I usually got 38-44MPG with my B13 GA and auto trans up till the 160K miles it currently has. That is 95% highway driving at around 10MPH over the limit most of the time.

i think he means that usually when we get/do a new mod to the engine we usually develop a heavy foot :D
