I have seen these in line filters plugged solid wiping out the complete transmission. ĭid I use them in my transmission shop ? absolutely but only for a two week duration as described in the quote. You are too late by then and have cooked your trans fluid unless you have a trans temp guage that you monitor on a constant basis. You are not going to know the filter is plugged until the trans temp dumby light pegs out at 310 degrees. Ĭooler flow is extremely important and We all know heat kills an automatic transmission. Magnets are a pain to clean and some shops will throw them out rather than clean them for you while they service your trans. If you dont have any magnets in your pan, throw some in. Use the bottom of the transmission pan with a few magnets to catch the steel.

Its the wrong place in any hydraulic circuit to install a metal cleaner/ filter. I would not chance placing a filter in line of "cooler flow". TRD rear slider sticker with devil horns ( $6) Winter tires - Good year P265/65R17 Ultra Ice studded Summer tires - Good year silent armor P265/65R17

(All the dirt or metal that is going to move will move during that two weeks) It had done its job.Ĭleanliness is the key word. The car would come back after being driven two weeks, and the filter was removed and thrown in the garbage. Modern flow solenoids can become fouled, neccesitating pulling the pan again to fix it. Valve bodies can stick, governors (not used any more) can stick. Ferrous metal sticks to the magnets inside. Remember just like AC repairs, the slightest trace of anything is a disaster. The owner believed that an added, permanent transmission "filter" added unnecessary restriction to the flow of fluid.Īfter a major failure and overhaul, he would add one of these filters which contained powerful magnets to the outlet line returning to the automatic from the radiator.Īll transmission lines, etc were flushed, but while they were testing the overhauled automatic, they temporarily added that filter, primarily to attract any ferrous metal leftover when the transmission self destructed. I once worked in a transmission shop in Montreal Canada.
