This is what I find when I drop the tranny pan. A screwy stage one weight reduction... No filter!

That weight reduction just added 15 RWHP!

Are you sure you aren't confusing rear wheel horsepower with crank?

 

[icanfixall]

So were you having issues and thats why you dropped the pan???

 

[chris142]

Isn't that black thing with a tube that hangs down the filter?

 

[whitehorse]

Sorry guys was thinking plastic filter like the e4od. I'm putting a shift kit in it and new filter and fluid. What is the thing hanging down? Does help pick up the fluid?

 

[chris142]

Ya it sucks the fluid up that hole

real transmissions dont have filters

There's no way you won't swim in a little fluid when dropping the pan...

Tho from what I've seen in some ZFs, they sure as heck could use one

Sure there is - the $5-$6 concrete mixing tub from Lowes or Home Depot works miracles towards that goal

, that one is a little bit too... high tech?

I've been using the white plastic storage bins (various sizes) that people bought at Walmart and eventually donated to thrift stores where I've bought a few. Check for cracks though. I like the 6 inch deep one that slides under beds, it's long and wide. Good when changing fluid on a passenger car with less clearance. Also more rigid than the black plastic concrete mixing pans?? Neither is particularly easy or accurate to poor from into a funnel because of the edges. I think I used a taller one draining the C6 and converter- with more clearance under the truck.

The gears eventually crush the dirt, sand and metal pieces into finer and finer pieces causing less damage, so a filter isn't necessary.
