changing trans filter and fluid

[Sniper82]

Pulled the filter on a geo prizm and saw the hole is much bigger on the old filter. Think this will effect the transmission? Other side looks exactly the same.

I can't see a prizm pushing a lot of trans fluid, shouldn't be a problem. Probably a revision to keep undisturbed sediment off the screen or something.

Is that the pickup side that faces down toward the pan? Either way it looks larger than the hole on my 4R70Ws which is about an inch and a half circle on both sides. If it's the correct part for your trans I'd run it.
