Inline Transmisson Filters

[bajapathy]

My tranny cooler/filter/synthetic fluid project is proceeding apace. But which filter do I want? And what line size?

These seem to be well thought of in the truck industry. Seems too easy too. I need to suffer more when I take on a project...

 

Comments, links, rock-throwing, are all encouraged...

 

Thanks

It's pretty bad when I start replying to my own posts

 

I'm going to go with this:

I figured I could run temp experiments and post the results before and after the change to synthetic. then from stock cooling to aftermarket (if necessary. If there is anyone else interested stay tuned.

If you want to save a couple bucks off total cost (I assume you have to pay shipping?)

This looks like the same mount I used on Frankenvan... They are all pretty much the same. I STRONGLY encourage getting the temp gauge as it will tell you so much about what is going on and when to ease up on the tranny to preserve it.

 

I installed the biggest, highest flow filter I could find to minimize any flow restriction of the fluid. The slower it flows, the less effective it is at cooling. The Mobil 1 synthetic fiber filter was the best I could find at the time. Expensive, but a tranny filter shouldn't need changing very often at all. Maybe every 50K miles or so.
