wait, so a 43 PSI bypass on the macmaster filter is too high or something? the line pressure is well over 100 psi, and even at idle its fairly high would the higher bypass be a definite problem? _

has anyone ever done a UOA on redline D6 in a DEX VI application?

i do have another off topic question for you Gary, and thats it would be your recommendation that amsoil is a better bet than the stock DEX VI right? i'm coming up to another fluid change soon and i need to know if i can do better cost of the fluid is irrelevant thank you _

well, i went around with doing the unreasonable - measuring the line pressures of the transmission i'm intending to use this with, and it turns out its at least 20 psi on the lowest pressure idle i can find - when hot - pre-cooler and the northern tool filter has a bypass at 15 psi, which...

ok, so if i were to pick the mcmaster-carr 4358K43 filter with a 5 micron rating it should be the best bet right? assuming if i go for 30k mile fluid changes, on a 6L80, with severe duty usage, heavy towing, etc and a giant trans cooler my trans should be safe for a while right? thanks for the...

hi, does anyone know the pressure drop for one of them 35 GPM hydraulic filters that filter down to 10 microns? say specifically the one on northern tool? because if the pressure drop was small enough it would be the best external full flow spin on transmission filter i can find, would out...

no, the shop didn't have a flush machine so i didn't do a flush, did the pan drop and then drained and filled again, so diluted at best yes, the groaning has been eliminated on the 4th gear, and significantly better at 3rd (still hear a tiny bit, but not anywhere near as loud as before) i...

_ turns out the ATF was the problem http://www.caymanclub.net/reviews/data/10/large/IMG_0598.jpg http://www.photo-host.org/thumb/370442img_0595.jpg http://www.caymanclub.net/reviews/data/10/large/IMG_0578.jpg also figured out what the stuff is: ESSO LT 71141 sent samples of the stuff to...

i can't believe you guys trust the dealers that much, that groaning noise in the gearbox, all the local dealers swear its nothing to be worried about and that its "within spec" which sounds like ____ i'm sure if this particular transmission was low on fluid it would still run fine for a good...

car is a 2007 porsche cayman with the tiptronic automatic transmission, same autobox occurs in both the audi s8/a8 w12 and the vw phaeton, gearbox has a groaning noise at low rpms on 3rd and 4th gear when under load the exact sorta groaning noise you hear when any modern auto is low on fluid...
