According to him (I'm paraphrasing) 'its adding 10 lbs of problem to get 10 ounces of cure.'Īnd in many ways, I can't argue with him. He could even do Jatcos and Mercedes spot on. I'm not saying yes or no, but he had 24 years of build experience with every box on the planet. He said that the only time he's ever found damage to a pump is when he found evidence of metal being circulated. I countered that the little particles are potentially damaging to the pump, servos, and pistons, but he contended that (since clutches are made of paper) they don't damage. Its the breakdown of the additives and burning of the fluid. In his (very extensive) experience, the little tiny particulates in the fluid don't cause the failures. My builder's basic argument was that it added complexity and too many failure points for next to zero benefit. The high-flow would prevent restriction, but the low-flow would eventually cycle all of the fluid through and keep it super clean. I was afraid of restriction so I was going to do the double filter mount and put one high-flow filter on along with a super filtering slow-flow. I was even going to add a bypass and a temp sender. I was going to do this back when I ran tranny repair shops and had access to all the lifts, fittings, spare parts, etc. Not poo-poo ing the idea, just counterpoint.
