external trans filter question

i removed my 4eat yesterday as my new jdm box has arived and i had been looking in the how to documents regarding all things trasmission.....

i discovered where the external filter is located and how to replace it..... one problem my svx does not have an external atf filter

is this normal for an Australian delivered SVX or should i add one into the system for my new trasmission?

Does that mean your new transmission will be a rear bias?

Aus delivered svx'ers have a rear bias already!! same AS JDM,

whats the vote... should i just go ahead and add one? or does it have to do with a higher grade of oil out here that they may not need one??

Drop the skid Plate and look for the bottom of the battery....Right about there ......In regards to adding the filter I vote for yes to be on the same side.

FYI I went with the Perma-cool tranny filter because it is an easily swappable filter and also the kit with a gauge for temp is only about $80. Found it on summitracing.com after doing some digging... Somebody had previously put in one of those cheap Magneflo filters. (the magnetic particle gathering one?)
