Contaminants can enter your transmission fluid system in the manufacturing process. They can also enter the transmission through the vent, or through the dipstick & fill tube during fluid level checking/filling. Most of the time, however, contaminants are the result of normal wear. These contaminants consist of metal chips & flakes from gears & bushings & fine fibrous material from clutch facings. WIX transmission filters protect transmissions against contaminants in the transmission fluid system. Proper filtration helps improve transmission life by minimizing wear & preventing sticking & scoring of sensitive shift control valves. In the event of a part failure, the filter also guards against secondary damage to other parts & thus helps to minimize repair costs.
