Doesnt have to be into a bottom pan.I haven't looked, do we have a drain plug? We could pull from there and return a little higher up...A bypass setup like this would polish the oil pretty well.
Wasn't really trying to design this, just suggesting the the existing oil loop is probably best left alone except for a cooler. A filter would need a different approach to avoid exceeding the trannies capabilities.
My gut feeling is that a cooler would do more to help than a filter. It looks as though overheating is a more likely failure mode than metal particles.
