Thank you for the great post and great info!

Pictures would be very welcomed, of course.

How difficult was it to get to the filter? Would it be possible to change the filter without separating the tranns from the engine? ie when doing valve body replacement or by removing a 'pan' or something off the bottom of the trans?

It sounds like a replaceable inline filter in the return line would be a great option to letting the internal filter plug up!

What are your thoughts on how to get the crud out of the sump?

My first thoughts would be :
Get the trans good and hot then do a cleaning with something like Seafoam Trans Tune and follow their directions to take an easy drive for ~30 mins to distribute product and then do a complete flush, starting with the 'pan' drain (hopefully pulling as much gunk as possible out the bottom) and then moving on to the regular 'pump it out' method. Then add an inline filter like the Magnefine in the return line.

remember everyone - no power flush / dialysis style machines! Do it the 'old fashioned' way.


any thoughts?
