Hi there mortuarium and TY for the donation this is what keeps the site going.

When you remove the filter did anything fell off from the valve body and did you tightened the filter properly. Is it in the correct fluid level when tranny comes up to normal operating temperature If so did you use the correct type fluid-see info below
