The TorqShift transmission is equipped with a remote transmission fluid filter. Most of the transmission fluid which leaves the front fluid cooler line connector passes through the remote filter and is directed into the cooling circuit. The remote filter takes 10 percent of the incoming hot fluid and directs it through a small orifice and into a serviceable filter element. The filtered transmission fluid is then directed back into the rear lubrication circuit through the larger opening in the remote filter manifold. For additional information, refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER - BACKFLUSHING AND CLEANING or TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION COOLING .
