What size Transmission Fluid Filter for my 2006 HHR?

Posted by Ok_Lynx_9285@reddit | askcarguys | View on Reddit | 5 comments

Hi guys,

So I made the mistake on working on my car for the first time and made a huge mistake. I took out what I’m told is the built in seal that the transmission filter sits in for my HHR and now I need to replace it. The problem is I ordered the part from what GM said should fit on my car but it’s too small. I can’t seems to find the right size through online research and am kinda of regretting even touching my car. I didn’t keep the old part to compare because I didn’t even think about the new part not fitting. Really beating myself up about it. So any help is greatly appreciated.

I would just go to rockauto and navigate the drop downs to find your make/year/model/trans/filter. But you’re going to want to cross that to the new one you have in hand to make sure they aren’t calling for the same part you already have.

Thank you, I did and it keeps calling for the same part 8684467, but the part I had in there looks more similar to 24254193.

8684467 is the correct part number for your car. It's not going to slip right in you need to find something that matches the outside diameter and hammer it into place. It's a really tight press fit.

Thank you it ended up working out!

You're welcome
