Fluid Filter - A/T: Description and Operation
TorqShift Automatic Transmission
Remote Fluid Filter - Early Build Vehicles
Remote Fluid Filter - Early Build Vehicles
This transmission is equipped with a remote transmission fluid filter. Most of the transmission fluid which leaves the front fluid cooler line connector
passes through the remote filter and is directed into the cooling circuit. The remote filter takes 10 percent of the incoming hot fluid and directs it
through a small orifice and into a serviceable filter element. The filtered transmission fluid is then directed back into the rear lubrication circuit
through the larger opening in the remote filter manifold. Refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler - Backflushing and Cleaning.
Late Build Vehicles
Late Build Vehicles
Late build vehicles do not have the remote filter mounted on the driver side rear of the transmission. The remote filter and the previous design sump
filter are both replaced by a high efficiency sump filter (HESF). The HESF is designed to trap smaller contaminants to help prevent solenoid sticking
issues. Because the HESF is wider and taller, a new design bottom pan must be used with it as a set. The HESF requires replacement less often (60K
