Remote Trans. Filter Kit

The B and M AUTOMOTIVE Remote Transmission Filter Kit (part 80277) is engineered for serious transmission builders and high-performance mechanics who demand clean fluid circulation and extended filter service intervals. This remote mounting solution addresses a critical gap in modern drivetrain maintenance: the ability to relocate your transmission filter away from engine heat and vibration zones, directly improving fluid longevity and reducing thermal degradation. Whether you're running a street rod, towing vehicle, or custom build where underhood space is at a premium, this kit solves the problem of inaccessible or inefficient factory filter locations.

The remote filter assembly uses a compact integrated design that plumbs directly into your transmission's supply and return circuits, allowing you to position the filter element in a cooler, more accessible location—typically inside the vehicle frame or engine compartment perimeter. This configuration reduces pressure drops across the filter media and enables larger filter elements than stock setups, delivering superior flow rates and contamination capacity. The B and M AUTOMOTIVE 80277 maintains precise OE-equivalent pressure regulation while eliminating the bypass valve issues common in cramped factory installations, ensuring your transmission receives consistently filtered fluid at optimal viscosity, regardless of ambient temperature or driving intensity.

This remote kit is ideal for automatic transmission swaps, restorations requiring modern cooling systems, and performance builds where transmission life directly impacts powerplant reliability. Installation requires basic plumbing skills and access to transmission cooler line ports; most applications benefit from running the assembly alongside an external transmission cooler for maximum fluid temperature control. Verify compatibility with your specific transmission model and ensure adequate clearance for the filter head before installation. The lightweight 1.85 lb assembly integrates seamlessly into custom bracket systems and works across most domestic and import automatics equipped with standardized cooler line fittings.
