C6 Spec Info Needed

Does anyone know what the flow rate (GPM) and what the pressure (PSI) is at the C6 coolant lines. I'm going to install a remote filter system and those two items are crucial. Right now I'm thinking about a spin-on filter from Lentz that will do 7 GPM and 100PSI and it has 3/8" fittings. The cost is about $22 or $25. This is in the latest Bailey's Hydraulic catalog.

Gary,


I copied this from Ford Performance Forums but, it looks like the origin was Vintage Vehicle Restorations.

It is very unlikely that your tranny lines will ever exceed 60 PSI unless you are building a race tranny... (those I don't know about with any personal knowledge)

Your average auto's tranny C-4 C-6 FMX, T350, T400 AOD Etc... At 1,200
rpm"><span style=rpm" /> rpm">rpm
in neutral or park go about 30 PSI.
at about 2,500-3,000 I have seen 80 on a clogged filthy tranny.

I've seen nothing over that.

I got those numbers doing 2 years worth of
transmission"><span style=transmission" /> transmission">transmission
flushes so it's fairly accurate.

Thank you, "Dans72". I didn't think it was very high pressure. I'm going to guess that the flowrate (gpm) is going to be low too. I'm going to stop by the nearby Ford deal shop and ask about flowrates.

The cooler lines won't flow anywhere near 7 GPM. It's much less than that.

You can go with an in line filter kit Ford sells. Part number XC3Z7B155CA. Replaced by XC3Z7B155F. it is more money but meant for trans fluid and one of it's lines.. List price is $69.11 but FTE price is $41.81.
