Brass or Dacron transmission filter

I just bought a transgo tf-2 and it came with a brass filter (and a 727 gasket, I'm doing a 904, oh well it's cork anyway).

Since I read this though I picked up a Dacron filter instead. Not sure how much stock I'd put in the "offshore filters are woven too tight". Folks seem to be in a bit of a tizzy over imported parts, sometimes warranted but a lot of the time not.

In the old B&Ms yea but Transgo your lucky to get tape on the box...
Filters with shift kits are now history. Nothings free nowadays.

If its just a daily driver use a Dacron they work just fine. But ask for a brand name like Filtran the offshore can be a little too tightly woven and starve the pump at times.If its a quality filter the name will be stamped on the metal edge of the filter.
If you're pumping some real HP and are plan on actually using it then go Brass Screen.
In any case throw a magnet in the pan especially with the Brass screen.
