First, there was and never will be a recall on any SVX. There was a TSB that encouraged the installation of the filter on the early transmissions with the old style radiators and torque converters, this was a FIELD FIX for in service units only. The radiator was changed to not include the easily clogged heat dissapating screen.

A filter is not necessary on a vehicle that has had a new torque converter and a new radiator installed. It is a possible restricton and should not be installed. There is simply no need for it. The worst possible thing you can do for this trans is restrict the cooler flow. This is what a filter does. So basically you have a restriction for no reason.

Also, draining the pan will let out about 4 qts of fluid. A completely dry system holds more than 15 qts.
