Do these cars autoboxes have a filter to change or clean if & when changing the ATF ?

And is it internal or external ?

Cheers !
 
Just curious, why are you changing the fluid?

When draining the oil, you will only be able to drain around 1/4-1/3 of the total oil capacity as a majority is held within the converter and valve body. The only way you can do a complete oil change is to drain the oil and refill then drive the car, then repeat the step at least four to five times to completely change it.

Is the box driving ok? My father has over 30 years in the business of rebuilding automatic boxes and I myself have 6 years, so if you have any queries feel free to ask.
 
Meant to say that last night . It is indeed a box out job, and would require a full strip down as its the first thing you put into the case before ***embling the valve bodies and clutch hubs on top of that.
