If you add the remote filter, the check valve is in the filter cartridge itself. You replace the check valve with every filter change.

That's I did, best of both worlds.

 

Oh, neat. I did not know that. Know of any external filter mounts that use the same sized filter as the oil filter?

 

A fair few filters have the check valve integrated into the filter. So, it isn't something specific you have to add, and you change it each time you change the filter. Just depends on what filter you use.

 

I am pretty sure that the perma-cool kit I installed uses the same filter.

 

mine has been leaking for quite some time now. ive noticed a few changes in the behavior of my shifts, so im about to sure up the leak. not to hi jack the post at all, just seems better rather than start a whole new one.

so i did a google search, i just need the rubber hose piece...all websites show that they sell the full assembly from the trans to the rad. well autozone has a picture of just the rubber hose and in the description even says the length of it is only 9 inches. perfect, autozone has it delivered to my local store, they go back and bring up this big long line rubber and metal. the full assembly. i told the guy to look on their website of the part and to make sure the part numbers match, and they did. i ended up not buying it.

anyway, so now im thinking about cutting the crimps(each end of the rubber hose has metal crimps) picking up a foot long piece of rubber trans line 3/8 id and 2 hose clamps and button it back up. could it be that simple? or do i need to get all the coupler fittings and build a new section like some other guys have done.
thoughts?

 

I took off the old line, (flare nut at one end, quick-connect at the other) and just pushed the 3/8ths hose over the flare, and the crimp that the quick connect grabs, and put a couple hose clamps on both ends. It was a drag to get on there, but, it doesn't leak, and it isn't going to come back off easy....... Been fine for several years now.

 

You could have bought the whole thing, just removed the hose section (without the check valve), replaced yours with the new and been done with it.

 

i thought about doing that, and i still may. but at the time i was disappointed because i was expecting to just get the hose. i didnt want to spend 50 dollars on the entire line when i only need that piece. like i said though, i still may. been working allot of overtime, havent had the time to get in there yet.
