    Planning on full flush and replacing OEM ATF filter @ 135k. Performed a full flush @ 68k but did not drop the pan. Considering installing an inline filter. Which ATF cooler line (to or from) should the filter be installed? Any brand suggestions? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    i wouldnt even bother. doing a full 13quart change every 60k is more than plenty.

    But if you really wanted to, i would put the filter so it doesnt drain back into the trans when turned off, where every thats the easiest to do as anywhwere on either of those lines is essentially the same.
