AMG GTC - Transmission Service questions

I’m curious for a ‘19 GTC service, shouldn’t the pan and transmission filter be replaced? I just had my car serviced at a dealer and it looks like they just drained the fluid and replaced. Very confused.

looks fine to me. I had the transaxle service done earlier this year and it looks similar to yours

thanks for confirming! I just had it explained to me that this trans is filterless and a tandem sump style with fluid moving between the diff and transmission.

There are no filters in the GTC transaxle.
The recommended every 30,000-mile service consists of replacing both fluids: approximately 7.8 liters of hydraulic ATF for the transmission section and 3.8 liters of GL-5 gear oil for the differential.
These two fluids operate in completely separate chambers within the transaxle, and there is no fluid exchange or mixing between the transmission and differential compartments.

You can find lots of info on the Transaxle service here: https://mbworld.org/forums/coupe-roa...e-caution.html
