• Spin-on transmission filter design for easy replacement
• Cellulose media with 3-micron filtration for effective particle capture
• Flow rate between 28-30 gallons per minute to support heavy-duty duty cycles
• Height of 5.820 inches with a 3.680-inch outer diameter top and bottom
• Thread size of 1 1/2-16 for secure installation
• No anti-drain back valve or bypass relief valve setting
• Burst pressure rating of 740 psi for durability under pressure
• BetaRatio of 75/200=2/3 indicating filtration efficiency

Technical Details and Specifications

The Wix 57401 transmission filter kit is engineered with cellulose media that filters particles down to 3 microns, ensuring contaminants are effectively removed from transmission fluid. The spin-on style filter simplifies maintenance, while the 28-30 gpm flow rate supports heavy-duty transmissions requiring high fluid throughput. With a burst pressure rating of 740 psi, this filter withstands demanding operating conditions without failure. The filter’s dimensions include a height of 5.820 inches and an outer diameter of 3.680 inches at both top and bottom, fitting securely with a 1 1/2-16 thread size. The absence of an anti-drain back valve and bypass relief valve setting means the filter is designed for systems that do not require these features.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This Wix transmission filter kit is compatible with a range of heavy-duty vehicles and transmissions that require a spin-on filter with these specific dimensions and flow characteristics. It is suitable for use in commercial trucks, construction equipment, and other vehicles where a 3-micron cellulose media filter with a 28-30 gpm flow rate is specified. Always verify fitment with your vehicle’s make and model to ensure compatibility with the Wix 57401 transmission filter kit.

Common Transmission Issues Addressed

• Contaminant buildup causing transmission fluid degradation
• Reduced transmission efficiency due to clogged filters
• Premature wear of transmission components from unfiltered particles
• Fluid flow restrictions impacting transmission cooling and lubrication
• Potential transmission damage from inadequate filtration

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Wix 57401 transmission filter kit, ensure the thread size matches the transmission housing (1 1/2-16). Clean the mounting surface before installation to prevent leaks. Since this filter does not include an anti-drain back valve, take care to avoid fluid loss during replacement. Follow manufacturer torque specifications to avoid damage to the filter or transmission components.
