And when/if that filter plugs up, then what? Ever had a tranny line blow off? It aint pretty and that is what will happen. The in the pan filter is fine. If you have substantial junk floating around in your fluid then you have bigger problems that cant be fixed by a filter.
I run them in several of my vehicles, and have never had one block and/or blow a line. Honda's actually come with an inline filter from the factory which most people forget to replace then they wonder why their trans burns up. Most transmission places require one to be installed for their warranty to be valid. I change mine at 10K and have never had any issues...but thanks for the concern.
You said it yourself....So why put a filter inline when there is one in your pan.....for it to get plugged later and fry your trans? NO transmission shop that ive ever worked for or been in requires an inline filter let alone install them willingly. In fact this is the first ive ever heard of the "genius" idea to put an inline filter in a tranny line. Thats right up there with the "genius" idea of Dodge putting the check ball that gets stuck and burns the tranny up many years ago in their trucks.
because the one in the pan is just for huge bits, and I like to keep my transmission fluid as clean as possible. Who knows I could be wrong for using 2 filters...so could Allison.
