ACDelco Gold Automatic Transmission Fluid Filter Kit TF289 (25174487) — Felt Media, OE-Style Fit for GM Vehicles

ACDelco Gold TF289 (25174487) is a premium automatic transmission fluid (ATF) filter kit engineered to trap wear particles and maintain consistent fluid flow for reliable transmission operation.

This ACDelco Gold transmission filter kit is an aftermarket, high-quality alternative designed to meet or exceed the fit, form, and function expected from Original Equipment (OE) components. Built with felt filter media, the TF289 captures abrasive debris such as metal shavings and other contaminants that can circulate through the transmission. The result is optimized fluid flow to internal components and protection against blockages that can accelerate wear. Backed by General Motors, ACDelco Gold parts offer a trusted choice for GM vehicles and fit many other makes and models, including specialty applications.

How does the TF289 filter kit protect my transmission?

The felt media inside this filter traps microscopic and larger particles produced during normal transmission operation, keeping them out of fluid passages and valve bodies. By preventing debris recirculation, the filter helps maintain smooth hydraulic operation and consistent lining of friction elements.

• Felt filtration captures abrasive particles and metal shavings
• Designed to prevent flow-blocking contaminants from reaching valve bodies
• Supports consistent hydraulic pressure and clutch engagement
