Transmission filters
The requirements of modern automatic transmissions according to efficiency, convenience and environmental sustainability are constantly growing. These demands are met by developing new, more complex and thus more sensitive systems. Examples for new transmission conceptions are CVT´s (continuously variable transmissions) or double clutch transmissions. As specialists for filtration systems, GVS contributes to these developments by offering modern conceptions to improve the transmission fluid cleanliness.

As specialists for filtration systems, GVS contributes to these developments by offering modern conceptions to improve the transmission fluid cleanliness. Contaminants can enter your transmission fluid system in the manufacturing process.
They can also enter the transmission through the vent, or through the dipstick and fill tube during fluid level checking/filling. Most of the time, however, contaminants are the result of normal wear. These contaminants consist of metal chips and flakes from gears and bushings and fine fibrous materials from clutch facings. Automatic transmission filters protect automatic transmissions against contaminants in the transmission fluid system. Proper filtration helps improve transmission life by minimizing wear and preventing sticking and scoring of sensitive shift control valves. In the event of a part failure, the filter also guards against secondary damage to other parts and thus helps to minimize repair costs.
TYPICAL MATERIALS USED
