Transmission pan magnet

[Nardey11]

Hi I just did a pan drop to replace the transmission filter and I forgot to put the magnet back in. Can I put it on the outside or do I suck it up and drop the pan again. Thanks.

Putting it on the outside might do something, but I suspect it would be much less effective.

I don’t think that’s a good idea man. What if it works and collects all that normal wear but then gets knocked off and sends it all at once into the transmission?

 

The filter is just a screen and won’t catch that fine stuff that gets built up on the magnet.

 

An easier solution might be to ditch the magnet altogether and just install an inline filter like some guys around here have done.

Seems like a reasonable caution.

TownDawgR50 told me putting a cooler on was no biggie so I’d consider doing that with a filter.

inline filter?

Nice, they finally made a metal-cased version! I've got the old plastic style on mine currently.

Alright thanks guys, looks like I’m dropping the pan again

Just drain the fluid into a clean container so you can reuse it.
