I can understand the idea for better filtration, but not at the expense of restricting the lube circut, my way of thinking would be a low restriction "Debris" screen for pump input, and a way to filter pressurized fluid after pump before delivery to main spool valve(which does not exist at present time).
Any filter installed in line with cooler will certainly "catch" debris after pump and converter fill, BUT...will starve geartrain of lube if it does, killing rear end of unit besides what actually caused the formation of the debris(usually a failed converter) from the begining.
Anyone else question "Why" all transmissions only filter in this manner? The only conclusion I can come up with is that any trans/converter that starts polluting the system is in need of teardown anyway so why bother? Hard to stop a failure already in progress. IMHO.
