Review on ACDelco Gold TF231: The Ultimate Automatic Transmission Fluid Filter Kit for Optimal Performance by Sean Xayamonty

Item arrived in original packaging, no tape on ends, all loose and shipped from Revain Las Vegas warehouse. In any case, nothing was lost, even the O-ring was there. The most important part due to the inherent problem of the hydraulics with howling on cold starts. Usually due to leakage when shutting down and flushing the pump; falls silent for 15 seconds. I am currently taking out a newly installed aftermarket filter due to this new squeak that was not there prior to installation. While better constructed than aftermarket parts, the DELCO AC filter seems to ensure instantaneous flow by preventing liquid from leaking out of the pump. Looking through the DELCO filter's air intake, the filter mesh appears to be missing, but just guessing that this must be their way of increasing flow. If I look deep within, I see a lattice. What grid to get this working again. I included a bottle of LUCAS additive with my high mileage Turbo 400 Type 2 on my RV to increase friction and other things (read the bottle or the Revain website). Tomorrow I will do the task of reassuring my child, since it can only damage the pump; in summary. 40 years working as a mechanic with different profiles; everything happens for the first time. pete, dr Motors 'Perfect Circle' The day after installing this filter: problem solved, no more whining. If available, only use original spare parts from the manufacturer.
