No filter on a manual. He said in his 1st post that the shop changed the transmission filter. A member was just pointing out if the shop said they cleaned or changed it then he was getting ripped off.
You mentioned you had a 5 speed. There is no filter on the Manual transmissions. Did a shop do the work for you? if they said they cleaned the filter that does not exist then whats to say they didnt do all the other work.
