I have been using a generic inline.. filter 3 inch. 3/4 Inlet . Is it possible I'm using too restrictive of a filter causing excessive heat in the trans.. what filter you guys successfully using.
Thanks .

I found this on summit's website.. I have been grabbing off-the-shelf at O'Reilly anything that would fit.. I'm not so sure that was a good idea

Why do you think you need a filter other than the one in the pan? when I was bracket racing the car with a 904.. it seemed to help greatly keep the trans clean... I recently switched over to a ProGlide.. and maybe an inline filter isn't necessary I do not know..? Honestly I was hoping for some feedback..

Look at the orifice sizes in the case and compare them to the orifices in the filter. I'd say the major restriction is in the case orifices, not anything downstream.

A filter in the line leading to the cooler prevents it from collecting debris.

And, since the fluid returning from the cooler is the main lube circuit, a filter isn't a bad idea.

My kids 62 300 came from factory with an inline filter.It was on the return line.IIRC he still has one or two OE ones left.It wasnt a big filter either.Looked like a large fuel filter.Rocky
