The pan is on the SIDE of the transmission that faces the radiator.
The Filter CANNOT be removed without removing the Valve Body from the transmission,
which is ONLY done when the transmission has been pulled for rebuilding.
The Filter is only a metal screen which catches LARGE pieces of debris.

A good flush should be all you need to clear your shifting problems.
If the problems do not go away, then the tranny may need to be rebuilt.

Reset the PCM and flush your fluid.
Works wonders for shifting problems.
