smo Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Bearing in mind how sensitive to carp in the oil auto box's are - has anyone fitted an inline oil filter in the cooler circuit?? Does anyone else think its worth it or have done it? If so what did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 doesn't the oil flow through the cooler in both directions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 thought the autobox had a built in filter system any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomG Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 doesn't the oil flow through the cooler in both directions? The flow direction reverses when the torque converter clutch locks up as far as i know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Dam, reversing flow scuppers that one! Western - yes, it has a filter, just like engines have one but extra protection for such a sensitive piece of kit seemed like a reasonable idea as its cheaper than a box rebuild!

Steve Hiatt Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm sure I've seen a remote one from B&M on an American site. I think it's a good idea. a lot easier to change than the standard one, but more connections to fail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 does the torque convertor help in the form of a centrifugal filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 yes B & M do an inline filter , have fitted quite a few, usually after fitting a rebuilt box, as a belt and braces approach after a system flush . Never heard of a flow reversal ? maybe ashtrans can confirm ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
