(1) Magnetic screen housing.
The magnetic screen is inside housing (1). The magnetic screen is fastened to the case of the output transfer gears. All of the oil flows through the magnetic screen before flowing to the transmission oil pump.The magnetic screen has a metal screen and magnetic screen tube assembly. Oil enters the magnetic screen tube assembly at the bottom. The oil flows through the center of the magnetic screen tube assembly. The oil then flows through holes in the tube which are between the magnets. The magnets are installed on the tube with the same magnetic ends next to each other. As the oil flows over the magnets, metal particles are stopped. The metal particles are held by the magnets. Other debris that is in the oil is stopped by the metal screen as the oil flows to the oil pump through the screen.
