I was reading on anoher forum about the check valve delete where those guys were deleting the check valve and putting a remote filter(see first pic with a filter in it) so that it filters that fluid better it enters the radiator and tranny aux cooler. The filter would also act as a check valve that wont get gummed up like the OEM one(best of both worlds!?).
But I have to make sure I plumb in the filter correctly or else the check valve will work against my system resulting in no fluid being pumped into the tranny...
So my first question is: is the 2nd pic with the blue arrows the correct way of flow? The pressurized line coming from the tranny to the radiator is the check valve line and runs into the bottom of the radiator correct?? If that is correct then I should put the green X side of the line into the in port of the filter and the red X side should come out of the out port in the filter and go into the botom of radiator?
Qestion 2. Can i just used basic oil filters for this remote filter setup? is there only certain filters that will work with tranny fluid?
If you have done this or something similar, please please post on here AND PM me with any of your concerns/sugestions!!
Thanks guys!
