Hey guys,
So I'm in the middle of servicing my transmission while also redoing the plumbing on my transmission cooler lines, (moving from 5/16" lines to 3/8 lines, and adding back in the factory cooler since I recently put in a new radiator) and I was toying with the idea of adding one of these Magnafine inline filters to the transmission line before it runs through the cooler:
https://www.amazon.com/Magnefine-Magnetic-Inline-Transmission-Steering/dp/B0787KWZPS
Considering doing so mainly because after servicing my transmission and looking at the stock filter, it seemed a little small compared with a standard TH400 filter. Also figured it would not be a bad idea to keep crud out of the coolers by filtering it while it's hot, pre-cooler.
So what say you?
1. Good idea. The more filtration the better.
2. Bad idea... Too much restriction
3. Overkill... The stock filter is just fine
I also already went ahead and stuck a pan magnet on the bottom of the transmission pan while I was in there... Our G8 with the 6L80 has 280K miles on the original transmission, and I figure if the General stuck a pan magnet in there from the factory, it was 5 bucks or whatever well spent to add one to the motorhome.
