Strange auto transmission filter

[Bill]

Ran across this on a 66 Mustang this afternoon. Can't say I've ever seen an inline filter for an automatic transmission. Looks like it has been on there for a long, long time.

Any experience with these?

I had a C6 rebuilt by a shop that insisted I install one of those right after the rebuild.  They wanted me to run it for a month or so.

I can assume a filter of some type, this one has been installed on that car for 20+ years. I've got to order a set of new lines to fix it.

A filter on the cooling lines is a good idea for 100 miles after a rebuild.

Is there such a thing as too many fluid filters? 

Redundant, yes, but presuming they don't inhibit the flow volume, is there a fundamental problem with an additional oil filter(s)?

I suppose that additional potential leak sources are one thing to consider.

Interesting, maybe I'll just suggest that they change it and not order new lines. God knows how long it has been there, but by the rest of the car, I'd say at least 10-15 years.

I guess that if I were to put an inline filter in a cooling line, I would chose to put it near the transmission where I could hide the "ugly" of such in installation. Personally, I don't believe that at this point in the life of your transmission, that one of these filters is really beneficial.
