There is no filter.
Sounds like the box may be slipping when hot? if so, it's likely the transmission bands are knackered.

New gearbox mate or overhaul!!

Try to get somebody to reset the gearbox software adaptation for a fluid change.
The daft thing is there is a filter in the gearbox but is got to be totally stripped to pieces to get to it, Definitely not a DIY job.
correct fluid level when hot ? , As said looking like a rebuild is required.

Oh yes, gearbox adaption may help (doesn't in most cases and if it does, it lasts about 10 miles).

Reference the filter.....Hence the rebuild! :wink:
