G'day,

Here's a link to a number of transmission filter photos that you may find interesting.

Note that the filter material is paper which; in my opinion, makes external filters redundant.

Oops - I better add a caveat - IF you change the OEM filter as required by the MM! ;-)

Larry,

Yes, that's probably why they never got installed!

BTW they were worth more than what I paid for them as a "learning / teaching aid." ;-)

Thanks Rob.

It's like there are booby traps set for us at every turn. We GMCers are
truly blessed to have this information available to us.

Do your due diligence folks. With folks like Rob among us, we have the
resources.

The biggest, I think, are trusted brands switching to cheap production and sticking the down-graded item in the same old box. In the electrical and plumbing industry, I see this a lot. Your old stand-bys just might be junk.

Ya know...I changed fluid in the trans this summer using one of those filters. Wonder if that has anything to do with my trans running hotter than it did before the change...

Larry,

If it restricts the flow through the cooler that could cause higher trans oil temps.

Rob, how do you open up oil and tranny filters without filling them up with chips from the saw?

Now I'm kinda nervous about my planed trans fluid change this spring. As I understand it, the filter necks vary from 0.740" (too loose) to 0.76" (too big to fit in) and you would know if it has a good fit until you try it in your transmission. I would really hate to have it apart to find my new filter will not fit.

Is it pratical to use a drill bit or small pipe to open up the small one? or prehappes distort them into an oval to make them stay and use the O ring to seal them?

What do I do if it is too big?

thanks in advance

Todd

PS I assume I fill it with Dextron. does it matter what number? (III, IV, V or VI) and how much should I have?

Thanks Rob!

So to confirm, what should be the OD of the intake tube to ensure it will stay put? I think I have seen that number posted here before when this mess first was discovered. In 2013 I changed my fluid & filter and I do recall it was a little loose but didn't think to much about at the time. Now I'm a little worried and want to check. Although I have put on over 5K since then.

I use tin snips or a wood chisel. A big tube cutter would be nice for the oil filter if you have one.

Kerry,

For oil filters I have a tool works like a tube cutter that cuts the "can" off the filter "face" that the O-ring is in.

The trans filters I just cut open with a 1 mm cut off "blade" in a 4" Harbor Freight grinder. I only wanted to see how they were
made. I thought they were what I call "horsehair filters" like the old oil filled air filters of the 1940's. As you can see from the
photos I was WRONG!

I'll have to look at the one filter I kept to see if there is some way to remove the paper element without contaminating it with
metal particles.

Kerry,

While I was at Manny's on the way back to Sydney I picked up a used trans filter and I think that the seam that holds the inlet
cover to the outlet housing could be removed with a flap wheel in a 4 inch grinder without getting crap in the filter.

If you have a filter handy see if you agree.

Rob M.
