Inline transmission filter kit

I will be buying a B&M Hi-Tek transmission fluid cooler withing the next 3 weeks. I was also looking into the Perma-Cool inline filter kit.

Does anyone have experience with this kit? With replacement filters about $15, I'd change it every 2-3 oil changes, even though the web site stated 50k. I change my oil every 3k by the way.

Thanks.

i would go with Magnefine in line tranny filter... same price but their paper filter with the magnet works really well... We use them in my TLs as the Honda trannys are known to be a weak point...

I use the magnafine as well. Easy install, quick change if you need to change it.

$190 ea. from Jegs (want to do oil too. Yes. I want to mount them about 2"-3" in front of the ac condenser. If there is something you know what I don't, please tell me. I like the idea of the fans because it would be based on that specific fluid's temp, not the coolant temp.
