We got our new issue of 'Trailer Life Magazine" the other day, and there is an article about transmission filters in it. It seems that newer vehicles have much more efficient filters on their transmissions than the older ones did. The filters used in most automatic transmissions, until recently, were pretty course, meant to filter out only large particles. This article states that even the smaller contaminates can significantly reduce the life of a transmission.
One of the filters they recommended was called a "Magnefine" filter and is an in-line filter with a magnet in the inlet. They are available (on Ebay) priced from $9.95 to $18.00. That seems like cheap insurance to me and I plan to install one in my coolant return line on the transmission and the return line on the power steering.
Has anyone had any experience with these? Is there any down side?
