Remote 48RE trans filter kit

Whne you plumb a bypass you are robbing lube and cooling fluid from the transmissions, no restrictions but a bad idea. I have yet to see a bypass system even suggested for that very reason.
That goes without saying. However, the transmission is a mostly sealed system that is subject to very little contamination. Given the transmission functions correctly "dirty" oil is due to a lack of service and/or trans failure which a filter will not cure, help, or affect.
Do you have a quantifiable data to prove this "theory"? Following correct service procedures is just as effective, and, it is the recommended route by the design engineers.
Again, given the transmission functions correctly there is no need for addtional filtering. This has been proven many times over the life of this transmission design.
Adding addtional filters without addressing the the cause is like treating the symptoms while ignoring the disease. Efficacy is never very good and it is truly a placebo mod.

Get back to us after you grenade your trans for the 2nd time.

Guess you missed the part where it has already exceeded the stock trans performace by 10k with no indication of problems. If anything it gets used harder now because it will take it.
A little less talking and more listening might learn you a thing or two. We can always hope.

You're the one with the broken tranny.
You come on here and give bad advice, just be ready to get called on it.
So cherrybus, just curious, have you seen a 68RFE?

Didn't miss it at all. In fact, I use it constantly to illustrate how NOT to add non-functional crap to a system and label it something it is not.
The rest of your crying, whining, and insulting is typical when you get backed into a corner and can't deliver, disagree with you and out comes the asshat. LMAO!!!!

C'mon now. You've got all the rope you're gonna get this time....
For anyone who is interested, here is an easy, inexpensive way to add an effective bypass filter to the Dodge auto trans:

Put about a .030" restrictor anywhere in the filter circuit and it will not significantly affect flow through the cooler, bypassing a constant supply of some small percentage of that flow in the form of CLEAN fluid back to the pan.
The way it works is the pressure differential between the hot and cold lines is enough to move fluid through the filter. The typical engine oil filter is about 300% more efficient than the stock filter found inside the pan. I'm upgrading it to a WIX 51749 setup (5um nominal) next fluid change. They hold about 3qt. for additional capacity as well.
With that and the Maghytec pan it's doubtful I'll ever have trans issues like cherrybus did.

There is a lot of good info in this thread. Keep it coming!
So, if I decide to do one of these, I want to know what the flow is in there first! It would be a good addition if you make sure not to slow down the flow any.
I also agree with fixing as many 'flaws' as you can afford. These really are great transmissions! Just to hold up to the mighty torque of the Cummins for any period at all is a feat! Just adding a shift kit does wonders for these trans. Mine had the hunt, shift back and forth from 2nd to 3rd in stock form. The shift kit cured that, firmed up the shifts and also made the lock up a lot firmer. In fact, I only went half way on that mod and I'm glad I didn't go all the way. It is plenty firm enough!
