Detailed Description

ATP Parts TF-171 is part of the ATP OE Replacement line, focused on direct-fit service parts for common maintenance needs. This transmission filter kit is designed to help maintain fluid cleanliness, which is critical for protecting hydraulic passages and other transmission components from clogging. Regular filter replacement can reduce the chance of fluid contamination-related wear and help extend transmission service life. TF-171 is used across many applications, including Chevrolet HHR, Chevrolet Cobalt, Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G5, Pontiac G6, Saturn Vue, and Saturn Aura.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Debris buildup inside the transmission filter
• Restricted fluid flow to the valve body

• Replace the filter during a proper transmission service with clean fluid and a clean pan surface.
• Inspect the pan, gasket surface, and magnets for debris during service.
• Verify fitment against the vehicle year, make, and model listed for TF-171 before installation.
