I've cleaned my trans filter screen on a couple of different vehicles and never found a problem that was worth the large effort it takes to remove the pan etc. I was wondering if anyone can comment from experience on an externel spin-on type filter that I could mount in-line on the cooling lines. Is this advisable? Is this possible?

You can buy kits to run a spin on filter in your tranny line. Check Summitracing.com, Jegs.com, or JCwhitney. I don't know how much it helps. There was some discussion a while back. Not sure if on this site. But there was an idea that a lot of the dirt that gets filtered from your crankcase found its way in through the air intake. They went on that since there is no air intake on a tranny, maybe the extra filtration is not needed. Probably can't hurt though, but you still would need the screen I think. It really is a shame that manufacturers didn't get rid of the screen for a spin on filter and add a drain plug.
If you want to keep your Transmission fluid 100%
Polished clean 100% of the time, install A Frantz or a Gulf Coast bypass toilet paper filter..
