Considering their relatively low cost, these filters offer a significant value in relation to reduced warranty claims, the reduction of FMEA RPN values, and smoother shifting transitions for the vehicle operator. By acting as flow control devices, these filters can help to maintain consistent fluid flow through a control orifice, therefore reducing the negative effects of fluid fluctuations. Filtertek engineers have the capability to design intricate components in various shapes and sizes to fit within even the most limited spaces. We have the ability to manufacture products from both stainless steel or polymeric screens and filter frames from either metal or plastic.The materials chosen for these applications meet the extreme temperature requirements of transmissions and are compatible with the variety of synthetic oils in use today.
