DCT Filter replacement
Has anyone had their DCT filter replaced (regardless of how many miles) and requested that the dealer return the old one? Not sure how feasible it is, but the thought would be to visually assess if the filter appeared clean or dirty, or view the trans fluid color along with any contaminants or particles that may be preset. I realize this sounds more likely with an oil filter replacement, but I was considering asked the dealer for the old one in return out of curiosity. Especially considering the cost of getting it done. I think It's a small enough request anyway.

Never thought to take it home. Tech would have been happy yo give to me versus all he did, which was to put in the container where all are deposited. Now IF I tracked might be interesting to do. I don't and felt zero need. Would have to cut the filter open. There are a few early posts with Pics where folks did just that.

Do the V access panel as you won't regret it.. Just ask Strakes and TWISG as they followed suit. If you need any info...
