be installed in the fluid cooler return line with the red arrow on the filter pointing away from the transmission fluid cooler and toward the
transmission (the return line has fluid coming out of the cooler going to the transmission). If the fluid filter is not installed correctly, it will cause
internal transmission damage.
CAUTION: Do not install any rubber hoses or steel tubing with a bend entering the filter greater than 60 degrees.
