Called and talked to a local hydraulic place. He recommended running without the mesh. "if you put good clean fluid in, there's really no way for it to get dirty." :confused3: Really? Then where did all the grey gunk on the bottom of the transmission case come from? (had a broken gear in the transmission, so it all got torn down to repair)
He did tell me a place that may have some brash mesh on hand, so I'll try them in the next few days.
