dunno... I guess that would remove the particles... I'm wondering how often a torque converter will fail in a manner that produces excessive particles. I guess the lockup clutch could leave chunks in the fluid, if the tranny is so-equipped. It seems that most people go a really really long time w/o a tranny failure, and when they do have a tranny failure, the TC is replaced simply because it's full of crud from the broken tranny.

There are people out there who use filters between the TC and the fluid, but they don't seem to be all that common. This guy ( http://www.se-r.net/transaxle_clutch/auto_lsd_info.html ) mentions that he is looking for one for his nissan, you might see if you can contact him to see what he found.

Alternatively, I found these other sources of info that may be useful to you:

http://www.humvee.net/hid/rungear/trancase.html "The inline trans filter I used was from Summit Racing Equipment, Phone: l-330-630-3030. You can buy it as a complete kit, #PRM l0677. It comes with a temp gauge also"

I took the liberty of tracking that one down (there was an error in the part number) - follow this link: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=23047


http://www.dakotart.com/faqarticles/...tall/page7.htm " I recommend installing an inline tranny filter just incase there was some debris that got by during the installation. I installed mine on my passenger side fender. I plummed it the following way. Tranny - Radiator - In line filter - Aux cooler - Tranny. You should install the in line filter before the radiator but I did not since it was more convienent to install the filter after the radiator and before the aux cooler. "
