Transmission filter on E40D ?

I have see some transmission filter that mount on transmission lines. Are they good to have it?

Anyone use transmission filter on line?


I was consider to buy one for my 95 F250 since I want transmission last longer.

Toss a can of Transtune in w/ the fluid. Put 50+ miles on it, drain it (including converter), new filter & switch to synthetic tranny fluid.http://www.fordfuelinjection.com/fil...rans_temps.gif Temperature is the biggest deal breaker w/ a tranny. The Transtune treatment, then synthetic switch will drop your tranny temp. 12 degrees or more plus other benefits!

And when you do, you won't like the price of it.

External transmission filter is always a good idea, they actually sell these kits that look like a big engine oil filter but you run it inline for your transmission.

Summit Racing has them, also Jegs, IIRC they were about $50 for the whole kit. I was actually talking about the synthetic ATF price that you won't like, the filter kits are rater reasonable.

Pay a little more now, or pay a lot more later. I'd rather pay a little more to avoid a Transmission overhaul, they're never the same.

Yeah, there is that. But IMHO any fancy ATF is a waste of effort if there ain't a nice big cooler added to the system, the factory one is pathetic to say the least - I actually use my air conditioning condenser as a trans cooler, it don't get larger than that

That's easily agreeable to. 20 degrees above norm. op. temp. over a period of time, will cost you 50% of the transmission life. Regardless of
fluid choice. However Synth. fluids don't degrade as quickly when exposed to thermal flux or wick & carry nearly the amount of moisture that then turns acidic. Better thermal transfer properties also!
