I know you're supposed to do the 3x3 ATF fluid change. But how do I access the internal transmission filter? I currently have a cold air intake from HPS performance. Do i need to remove the short ram/ long arm portion to access it? I've seen in a lot of videos they remove the air box and parts of the intake along with the battery? how do i access it/ what will i need to take out? speciality tools? etc.?
No you don't. Just look at any video of how they do it. you dont need to take apart the trans at all.
im just curious how many engine components need to be removed
well considering you didn't even bother sharing what car you drive AND you said INTERNAL transmission filter, what else do we have to work with? If you've already found videos on how to do it, then what's the question? just follow the video
I have a 2004 Acura TL, J32A3 engine. i am trying to locate where to put new transmission fluid after I have drained it. I looked at a lot of youtube videos and they show a clear bolt beneath the fuse box. however, mine looks a little different (see the pictures). just line up the parts and you'll see what i'm talking about. let me know what I should do.

vs. how mine looks
Looks like you have one of the early 3G TL's that needed to have the trans fluid jet installed to ensure the trans works properly for the 2nd gear.
You can remove that and then pour in the fluid. If you ask your dealer they should be able to give you the TSB on how to refill it:Alternative which will take much longer is to use a small tube (Homedepot/lowes) and connect that to a funnel and slowly refill from the dipstick tube for the trans.

There's s 2 filters, one you can change outside the car, one will require the trans to be removed. They are both technically internal but one is really inside the trans and requires the trans to come out.
