| What
the Automatic Transmission Filter Does... |
Contaminants can enter your transmission
fluid system in the manufacturing process. They can also enter
the transmission through the vent, or through the dipstick and
fill tube during fluid level checking/filling. Most of the time,
however, contaminants are the result of normal wear. These contaminants
consist of metal chips and flakes from gears and bushings and
fine fibrous material from clutch facings.
Automatic transmission filters protect automatic transmissions
against contaminants in the transmission fluid system. Proper
filtration helps improve transmission life by minimizing wear
and preventing sticking and scoring of sensitive shift control
valves. In the event of a part failure, the filter also guards
against secondary damage to other parts and thus helps to minimize
repair costs. |
