I was at my dealer today having my Transmission oil ?system flushed (33,000 mi). I met Master Service Technician Pablo Gonzales. Pablo is the inventor and holds patent to the Transgaurd Filter.
The Transgaurd Filter is a unique device which fits on your Transmission line right at the back of the radiator. This device has a internal circular magnet which collects metal particals as well as a metal filter screen. The filter also has an internal spring which is attached to these components so that if enough crap is collected by the magnet and screen, the backpressure opens the spring and allows the unit to flow as it would without it being installed.
GM was not initially happy with this product because it adds a tremendous amount of protection to the transmission and would reduce the transmission failure rates. They are now doing serious testing.
Pablo told me that at 30,000 mi. intervals the filter should be cleaned or replaced. To clean it, just remove it and blow compressed air into the output flow side to backflow any debris collected. The filter can be reinstalled if it appears clean inside.
The Transgaurd Filter retails I am told for over $60.00. I was approached by Pablo after he found out that I am a member of the Avalanche Club. With his doing, all club members can buy this user installable (Takes 3 minutes) Filter from the distributor for $30.00 plus $ 6.50 shipping.
There are models for all GM vehicles as well as Fords.
To get one, call Dan at Airsept and tell him you are from the Chevy Avalanche Club. Give him the year and model of your AV, or additional GM vehicle and he said he will ship out the filter the same day.
I am not involved in marketing this or as always not getting anything financially from it. I did get the unit for free as I promised to pass this along to the club.
