BULLETIN COVERS:
A new design THM 700-R4 transmission fluid filter and filter seal. The new design transmission filter is a wider filter that has a felt element in place of
the screen element and has a shorter filter neck. The filter also has a molded body that locates over the valve body bolts, thus eliminating the need for the
filter retainer clip. The new design filter seal (70) is a wider compression type seal that fits snug in its bore.
