well I guess I will add transmsion filters to the thread.
Number One, I do recomend the metal thread upgrade, it is a little loose until tight which is worrysome, but when tightened to transmsion it aint going nowhere. The plastic is garbage.
The sump filter is the star of the show, synthetic and can possibly last a lifetime, I wish they didn't even have a spin on filter. The sump filter does have a seal, make sure it is in place when you put sump filter back, it fits in very tight.
The spin on filter is garbage, but you need it installed for line pressure. I'd say 20k miles at best, eventhough transmsions don't get as hot, the heat cycles still kill this filter. We have not found a synthetic replacement as of yet, but we worry about putting a painted filter here. Even the wrong pan could cause paint flakes and kill the trans. A lot of this post was collective info, rlk, h395 and u&a. Corey and Kyle seam less sure of the metal thread, but I tell you mine is gorilla tight and I have no worries.
