When you look at the third picture, how can fluid be passing through the media when the white foam is always "in the way". It appears to me, that ATF isn't passing through the foam.
The white glue is there to secure the endcaps to the media. Transmission fluid flows through the media then into the center tube and out the exit hole. It seems pretty simple to me.
Yeah, for some reason, the first 2000 times I looked at these pics, I thought the pleats were filled with this white foam stuff. It's so obvious now, that it's just the ends of the pleats....but my mind's got a mind of it's own.
