He's wanting the luxury of dropping drain plug and spinning a old filter off and new one on. Kind of like Subaru's got. Then you never have to drop the pan for any reason nor have the huge mess. Dodge has always had the nice big pans that would flop down on one side make a huge mess then you had to change the filter inside the transmission.

Has anybody thought of running a spin on filter in the trans cooler line?  A lot of marine engines had adaptors for inaccessable filters with high mounted remotes...  same remote base in the cooler line.

I think Frantz has a paper filter for transmissions available. What happened to Debbie? Looks like that outfit in California has taken over producing and the we filter it website is toast.

You can add a spin on filter but it wouldn't replace the stock filter.  If the mess is a problem then add a drain valve.  It would be the same process as adding an egt probe or trans temp sensor.  Very easy.

Drain plugs are easy to install and pans are easy to drop

So then the BD type compression fitting?

Yep those are the ones I use

I think the "spin on" thing has been brought up many times. I cant remember why it always gets turned down.

Since the bands need periodic adjustment, not a bad idea to pull the pan anyway.

Filter should be changed anytime oil is changed and is cheap enough that any time pan is dropped. The drain plug is for easier drains

sorry ive been gone a while. my thought was to rid the use of the inside filter. disconnect trans line and have one suck new fluid in and the other push old out. i know dropping the pan isn't hard. i've done many of them. it was just a thought keep things cleaner like the allison has. thank you all for the info.

 

i'ma have to learn how to adjust the bands though....
