5R55N [99-UP] Automatic Transmission Filter (38 Tall Pick-up Tube)

Getting the fluid pick-up right is the foundation of every 5R55W, 5R55S, and 5R55N automatic transmission repair, and this Automatic Transmission Filter with its 38mm tall pick-up tube is the specific piece that makes that happen on these units from 1999 and up. What sets this Automatic Transmission Filter apart from others in the 5R55 family is the tube height: 38mm tall is the dimension these units require, and a shorter tube will not pull fluid consistently from the pan, regardless of how well the rest of the rebuild was done.

This is a single Automatic Transmission Filter unit, not a kit. It does not come with gaskets, seals, clutch discs, steels, bands, solenoids, or any other component. If your repair requires those parts, they need to be sourced separately. Check your complete parts list before placing an order.

The Automatic Transmission Filter applies to 5R55W, 5R55S, and 5R55N transmissions. Although these three share a common platform, they are not identical in every detail, so confirming the exact code on your unit before ordering is the right step. Model year coverage begins at 1999 and runs through current production.

REMCO has worked in automatic transmission parts since 1991. Each piece is pulled individually and verified against its part record before it leaves the facility. The item weighs 1 lb. If you are building out a full repair, use this Automatic Transmission Filter as the starting point for your fluid circuit and source the remaining components to match your unit's specific needs.

• A clogged or wrong-height pick-up tube Automatic Transmission Filter starves the valve body of fluid pressure; replacing it with the correct 38mm tall unit restores proper suction and helps avoid erratic shift complaints.
• This listing is for the Automatic Transmission Filter only. It does not include any seals, gaskets, bands, clutch discs, steels, or solenoids. Verify your complete parts list before ordering so nothing is missing from your repair.
• The 38mm tall pick-up tube dimension is the critical spec here: using an Automatic Transmission Filter with the wrong tube height on 5R55W, 5R55S, or 5R55N units causes insufficient fluid pickup, which no amount of other repairs will correct.
• One Automatic Transmission Filter unit, pick-up tube height 38mm tall, item weight 1 lb. Pulled individually and checked against the part record before it ships from the REMCO facility.
• Before ordering, confirm the exact transmission code stamped on the unit and the model year of the vehicle. The 5R55W, 5R55S, and 5R55N share a similar family but differ in application; the wrong match means the wrong part.
