Hello, I am thinking of buying a montero sport, the person selling it said transmission shop said it needs a new strainer. Is that just a different name for the filter? I saw somewhere these don't have the regular filters like most other vehicles but part store sells them? Any help would great... The vehicle in question has 200,000 miles Thanks

 

It is probably just a different way to call transmission filter. Just in case, what year Montero Sport are you looking for?

 

It is a 2000 Montero Sport xls for $950.00 firm

 

Be careful. The transmission would only need a new strainer if something had gone wrong and fragments have been flowing in the oil. And fragments in the oil could be due to failures of components, and can jam the solenoids and valve block

 

The guy said only thing wrong is it shifts hard going into reverse. Forward is fine...
