Frantz for Transmission

[iceberg]

I have had a remote filter setup on my transmission for a while. Is it possible to use a perma cool 189 sandwich adapter off the remote filter to go into a Frantz for a transmission bypass filter setup? The remote filter setup was from summit. I believe it was a perma cool prm-10678. I want to change the frantz from oil (Current setup) to filter the transmission and get a amsoil bypass for the motor. This is for a 99 dodge ram 1500 with the 360. Frantz makes the in-line adapter but I read a thread here and someone stated it restricted oil flow to the transmission and I don't want that to happen. Any and all opinions welcome. Thank you.

This is the thread that has me concerned http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=36;t=000053#000006

I use the frantz adapter on my 95 Altima ...no problems ...Ralph also says he has never had a problem...I think the biggest concern is if you tow a trailer...VS around town milage I don't think anyone has reported here that they had a problem with the frantz adapter causing shift problems????

Here is a quote from Ralph in another thread:

The way I did a new Dodge Cummins with 1/2" ID fluid lines to the cooler is I installed a Perma-Cool remote filter mount from www.jegs.com 771-1211. Then I installed a 771-181 Ford sandwich adapter. I screwed a Motor Craft filter on the adapter because that is what the customer brought with him. Then I ran hoses to a Motor Guard filter from the sandwich adapter. You have to make sure the fluid is flowing thru the full flow filter in the right direction. The fluid is lifetime fill so the fluid may never need to be changed. The filters should go 100,000 miles between filter changes. When I change mine it is usually to check the condition of the transmission. The system is a dual remote system that doesn't restrict the flow if the fluid is going thru in the right direction. Before hooking up the main lines I had the customer start the engine. The hose with the fluid squirting out I hooked to the inlet of the remote mount. This system can be used with any submicronic bypass filter such as the Frantz. If you have a clearance problem screw on a Toyota full flow filter. The full flow filter without the submicronic filter is a vast improvement over the stock transmission filter. I don't change ATF or remove the pan. Haven't for almost 40 years.
