Transmission cooling line filter

Does anyone here have any experience with filters set up on the transmission cooling line? If so, what did you think and what type would you recommend?

Thanks!

 

I have run external filters on my other trucks, and am about to install one on my Tacoma.

I use a Derale filter (same size as a short PH8A) and a generic filter mount.

To plumb it, filter the fluid before cooling it. Ideally, plumb the fluid to flow transmission -> filter -> radiator cooler -> auxiliary cooler -> transmission If you want to add a transmission temperature gauge, the filter mount is a great place to add a sender - that way, you can monitor the temperature of the fluid at the hottest point.

As for mounting the filter, I have been looking at mounting on the front of the core support, to the vehicle-right side of the radiator.

I am also planning on replacing my aux cooler with a larger one. Heat kills transmissions.

 

Thanks for the input. I just bought a filter mount kit and I'll be installing it as soon as it arrives. I will probably get a filter magnet of some type as well to catch any ferrous debris that might pass through the filter media.

 

I forget to mention that I always use a filter magnet, too. Can't be too careful!
