This filter kit any good?

Want to drop the pan and swap fluid and filter tomorrow, so dont have time to order an AC Delco kit. Is this decent, or just Chinese junk:

Automatic Transmission Filter Kit by Pro-King - Part FK-140 - Advance Auto Parts

i've used them

All discount store pretty much carry the same units--yes there are made in China.

Figured as much, should i wait and order a Delco, or should this suffice for the moment?

Doing some reading and it seems like a lot of people go with the type "F" Ford fluid. I have a drain plug in my trans and change it every 5k or so with Dex III. Tranny is in pretty decent shape, should I even bother switching to the F fluid?

Don't get the Filters that look like a lint trap, get the Nylon mesh type. Wix etc..>> http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/transmission-talk/315083-trans-filter.html
Type F may give you a firmer shift feel, your choice.

i have been told by bison the 700r4 filter was the way to go because it is a bottom feeder.this was reinforced by the fact i bought a hughes tranny pan and it came with a 700r4 bottom feeder filter

When getting the 700 filter, what car should we look under? 3rd gen F-body?

Subscribed, a part number for the 700 filter would be nice. Can add that to the list of compatible parts.

Thanks in Advance.

Any filter from a 700-R4 will work. I think I used a '89 IROC to get mine the first time. Now I just get them through a local trans shop. I also went to a Art Carr deep pan. The stock pan wont work with a 700 filter, I dont think.

If using a stock pan, cut 1/4 in. off the reverse tubing as the 700 filter is wider and the tubing holds it away. I also cover the 4th pressure switch with heat shrink.

I just used that kit from Advance auto and it works fine, and i put dex IV in. I wouldnt use Type F, but thats my personal choice. I did use a 700 filter with a stock pan and i didnt like how fit with all the wiring. But it fit and worked.

i get the 200r4 gaskit from rol and the 700r4 filter from purolator.
