"138-321 A/T OIL COOLER HOSE UPDATE
16 WS 0.70
1 X4551PA000 SVX HOSE KIT
FC: MEF54
PART# X4551PA000"

I can't imagine he wouldn't have had the update done. Could someone verify if this is it. I've looked for it in the engine bay under the battery but really don't know what to look for. Where exactly should it be.

I'd like to put a tranny cooler in. If there was in fact no filter update, is there anything I can do to that little screen filter that clogs?

thanks

The filter would be a black cylindrical object at the bottom of the radiator on the battery side. It looks almost like your fuel filter. Nothing can really be done about the screen, aside from changing your radiator. I'd install the cooler as soon as possible, just in case. If you bypass the stock cooler, or place the cooler in parallel, you won't have the screen to worry about.
