Technical Specifications and Features

The Wix 51064 transmission filter kit features a burst pressure rating of 355 psi and a BetaRatio of 2/20=6/20, indicating its filtration efficiency under varying flow conditions. The filter height measures 2.988 inches with an outer diameter of 3.234 inches, designed to fit specific OEM transmission housings. The anti-drain back valve helps maintain fluid in the filter during engine off cycles, reducing dry starts and wear. The bypass relief valve set at 16 psi ensures that the transmission fluid bypasses the filter only when necessary, protecting the transmission from pressure spikes.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Wix 51064 transmission filter kit, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and the transmission fluid is drained properly. The spin-on filter style allows for straightforward replacement; however, verify the thread size (20x1.5 mm) matches the transmission housing. Inspect the anti-drain back valve for proper seating and replace any worn seals to prevent leaks. After installation, refill the transmission with the manufacturer-recommended fluid and check for leaks during operation.
