Best add-on tranny filter setup for 2000 Accord V-6
I would like to add an external transmission filter to my BX7A V-6 transmission. What is the best setup to use, a Magnafine or B&M remote filter? Is a tranny cooler necessary?
I am thinking the B&M filter would provide better filtration because the filter is bigger but it has no magnetic properties. I would also think that using the B&M alone might provide adequate cooling capabilities so I don't need a cooler. I heard you don't want to cool the fluid too much.
I also heard a stacked plate cooler is the way to go, if I get one.
If a filter and cooler is installed, what is the order of installation from the outlet line coming out of the tranny? I heard someone recommend the outlet from the cooler going through the radiator cooler before it goes back to the tranny. So this would reheat the fluid so it's not too cold?
I live in Hawaii, BTW.

i don't know much about installing tranny oil coolers however those particular trannies are known to fail so this is a good idea to use...tranny oil coolers do prolong the life of trannies well
