Should i change the inline transmission filter on a 2012 Honda fit?

What is your question?

Have a 2012 Honda Fit, Bought the car new, has about 155,739 Kilometers, The transmission has not been looked at well. The fluid has been changed once. For the last few years the Fit has had issues changing gears. I did a double drain and fill of the Transmission fluid in 2020 thought that might help, Still having the same issue with changing gears, so I thought Would take the car in for a transmission fluid change and change the inline filter, maybe that would help with the issue. I talked to my local Honda dealer and was told not to change the inline transmission filter because it could cause particulate/shavings to get dislodged and may make the transmission worse and possibly create larger issues with the transmission. When reading online a sign your Transmission Fluid Filter is clogged is Problems Changing Gears. So would it make sense to change the inline transmission filter? I’m looking for other auto mechanic recommendations.

How long has your 2012 Honda Fit had this problem?

3-4 years
