( cl9 ) transmission filter

[Martin77]

The original filter has 25 pleats and 14 mm deep. Its 30 mm high.
Total filtration area = 30x(25x2x14)=21000 mm2
Equivalent to about 14 by 14 cm area.

I wonder what the magnefine filtration area is?

Magnefine is (approx):

30-32 pleats
50mm diameter
about 15mm deep (due to the bypass valve in the middle)
just under 50mm high

so
50x(30x2x15) = 45000 mm2

about a 21x21 cm area, over double the filtration area.

thats not including the magnet on top either.

Thanks Fred.
Magnefine is cheaper and should last longer. It would be perfect if it was made out of metal (stronger and better cooling).
Its time to do my fuel filter today. I need to find the access panel somewhere under the dynamat sheeting. I will start somewhere in the middle behind the back seat.
