Okay, so i was gonna do my Transgo/trans work this weekend, but the new LPW pan didn't show up
So instead of sitting around feeling sorry for myself, i decided to go ahead and install a Perma-Cool remote transmission filter. Not real exciting stuff, but it'll please Hit Man 
The kit included:
- Remote filter mount
- Perma-Cool filter
- 2 3/8" x 1/4" NPT male elbow fittings
- 1 3/8" x 1/4" NPT male straight fitting
- 4' of pretty nice hose
- 4 clamps
- 3 sheet metal screws
After surveying the situation, i decided mount it on outside of the frame (passenger side) right by the cross-member. I also decided to cut the supply line at the rubber hose (between the 2 steel lines) and splice in the filter.
To do this i needed a couple of extra items:
- Shorter filter
- Mounting plate (made by me from 1/8' aluminum bar stock)
- 1 3/8" x 1/4" NPT female straight fitting
- 1 3/8" x 1/4" NPT male straight fitting (i didn't like the one that came w/ the kit)
- 1 3/8" hose mender
- 3 bolts/nuts/washers
- 2 quick connect clamps
This is one top view showing the filter mount and fittings. IN on the right and OUT on the left.

Another top view showing better how the lines are run. I used the elbow from the kit and the female straight fitting to make a mender for the return line from the filter. You can see that better in the next pic.

A good view of the splices. The return line from the filter (on the right) is coming "towards" you and then "up" to the radiator cooler.

A couple of shots from underneath. It was getting dark outside, so these aren't that great, but you get the idea.
