2009 cx-9 transmission filter change??

[Mr4x4]

hi guys i have an 2009 cx-9 GT and it has 35,000 miles. only maintenance I've done on it has been the air filter and battery. according to the owners manual I'm good. however should i be looking into replacing the transmission fluid and gasket if so were can i get the filter and gasket? The workshop manual only says to drain it using the drain plug and replace the drain plug gasket.

But ebay sells the filter kit. thanks.

I was at the dealer today picking up my 10 quarts of trans fluid for my flush and they said the transmission does not have a serviceable filter.

Pootie tang, did you ever find the return line that goes back to the trans. Can you please post a pic of the line and the location. Thanks in advance.

How do you have a 6 year old vehicle with 35k miles? (boom07)
We had that within the first year on our 2013. Just turned 70,400 today and it is 2y 3m 6d.

Flow is from right to left (as you look at the pic, credit WaxiP5)

I checked the fluid yesterday and even after 137,000 miles is still looks pretty good. So I am bumping this job to lowest priority. I will do an oil change and the load leveling kit install in the next few days, then this likely just after the new year.
