Clutchless,
Would you post the link to bulkparts, the one you listed, I can't get to work.
Concerning the Magnefine filter, the Ford part number for this kit is #XC3Z-7B155-AA. It comes in a nice box with a Ford label, then open it and there in all it's glory is the Magnefine filter. The filter number only is XC3Z-7B155-BA, 3/8" inch in-line filter.
A few items on this filter, If you get a new or rebuilt trans from Ford, this filter must be installed or the warranty is void. Should be done by Ford. Second, you need to install a new filter at every fluid change or 30K. I am not sure where the 20K came from unless it is different on various vehicles. Also, if you use a flushing machine to change your trans fluid you must remove the Magnefine filter first, and use a cheater hose to connect the two lines for flushing. This filter is directional.
I see alot of people talk about adding coolers and filters to your transmissions. Don't forget to do a flow specification test after you are finished. You will have to get the spec's from the Dealer. On my truck it is 32 ounces in 15 seconds. If you read low, you may have a CBV (cooler bypass valve), make sure it is operating properly if you get a low reading, if it is operating normally, you may then have a restriction in your system.
