The filter is inside the trans itself under the pan the line is just a return fluid line the pan has a seriuos of bolts about 10-16 undo the bolts take all out but 2 let the pan drop to 1 side make sure you have something that will catch the fluid if not it will get very messy once the bulk of the fluid has stopped running remove the other two or three bolts you may hace to scrape the old gasket off if you do be careful not to scour the bottom side of the trans for it is very soft(aluminum) if you scratch it too badly it will leak even with the new filter.put the gasket back on the pan side first with some gasket sealer then mount it back to the trans the filter should just pop out with a little persuasion you may have to pry it out or just wiggle it a little while pulling down reverse the process to install new filter make sure all bolts are tight fill with atleast 5 quarts of fluid and check level make sure car is running at time of fluid check.hope you enjoy doing it yourself any questions please ask.hope this helps you.
