2010 lv 2.0 diesel auto transmission filter

[bucknbuzz]

About to do a service on the transmission, but can't seem to find a filter kit. I searched google, one popular car parts page shows a cylindrical style filter, the other place shows a flat filter. Anyone changed their own tranny filters on this model, if so, what am I seeking?

if you have a plastic cylinder on the transmission, a bit like the oil filter container on the front of the diesel motor, then its the round filter .

Where exactly am i looking, is this only visible from under the car with the strike plate off? I can see the fuel and oil filter caps but can't see through the myriad of bits to the transmission area.
