Homemade trans filter?

[gnsing]

Went to change the fluid and filter, this is what I found! Can anyone tell me why? Am I missing something?
Seems like a lot of trouble/work!

It's not home made, one of the vendors sells them and it picks up the fluid better than the stock one. I believe the filter part is off a turbo 350 trans. Does it have a deep pan on it?

Bet you have a sheetmetal pan..looks like a PTS setup...the filter is off of a dodge trans..dont remember which one. Take it to the parts store and pull up 904 and 727 filters and you will probably find a match

Thanks again for the help guys, it is a PTS, but not a deep dish pan
Gina check the parts store. Will the stock filter be a problem?

maybe not home made but looks like crap either way. if one us did some thing that and tried to sell it we'd get beat down from now till for ever.

My thoughts exactly when I found it!

I'd throw that in the trash.

I thought copper tubing becomes work hardened over time from heat and vibration? An old teacher at the aircraft maintenance school told us that in the early days cars used copper tubing for fluids instead of steel or aluminum. Supposedly tubing would have to be removed and annealed or replaced every so often.

new or old hot or cold copper tubing tends to crack do to vibrations a lot faster than steel.

If you got a deeper pan I'd just throw a 700 filter in it and call it good

That suction and filter is superior to anything that uses the stock necked type filter and should be reused. If it came with the pan it will locate the filter at the best possible position it could be and wont cavitate like a stock one. Ive seen those in use for about 14 years in cars that saw a lot of heat and vibration as well as thousands of miles of street driving without a failure. If you think the made in mexico stock style filter is better have it at. lol

If you decide to throw it away I'll pay you the shipping to get it down here instead of trashing it.

Just thinking , The 180 - 190 + hot water clean up system in a meat market where I used to work used copper plumbing at some really high pressure . No failures .
