when a trans is rebuilt, you are supposed to flush the coolers and lines w/ a special aerosol can w/ flush in it.

If I thought it wouldn't restrict the pressure to much, I would install a Magnefine after the coolers. Flushing out the coolers won't remove the metal that may have lodged sideways in them and jar loose later.

When I add a big magnet to the bottom of the filter I should be able to keep my coolers from trashing up if the transmission fails. Thanks everyone for your help.

but then again that is what then oem was for the cooler in front, there needs to be some flex though. that is why i still used the stailess braided instead of custom steel the whole way.
