All the magnet will do is attract steel particles, which while are abrasive, and just means you are failing the steel parts: gears, rings, bearings. Aluminum and clutch pack particles will still fail bearings. The best is a filter in the cooler circuit.
Very helpful, thank you for the great info. So if I understood correctly, boosting the pressures probably isn’t doing significant damage since the trans is still alive and healthy (as far as I can tell) after 7K miles of running this way. Is that correct? Thanks
