Abstract
A transmission fluid filter assembly includes a filter media, a fluid discharge conduit associated with the filter media, a magnetic particle trap, and a connector arranged to lie under the filter media and the magnetic particle trap. The connector is adapted to be coupled to a filter mount provided at an opening in a transmission pan to support the filter media, fluid discharge conduit, and magnetic particle trap in an interior region of a transmission pan containing transmission fluid to be filtered. The magnetic particle trap attracts and retains particles of ferrous material to minimize discharge of such particles from the transmission pan through the fluid discharge conduit.
