Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Geno's filter for the NV5600

Does anyone have the filter kit from Genos for the NV5600? Is it worth it? I'm planning on changing my fluid soon and wanna order one if its worth it.

I had read earlier user reports, and seen pics of the garbage trapped and held by those filters, so bought and installed one of my own - looks like this on my transmission, with an added heatsink:

No actual results so far, since not enough miles to change the oil - but the idea and design SHOULD be a plus, and they ain't making any more NV-5600's - and not an excess of parts floating around, either!

Does it increase the fluid capacity at all? Do I need to get more than 6qts. ? I was planning on doing the 6qt. overfill.

It will increase capacity some - probably about a cup or so. the filter takes up some of the inner space...

Well, I just ordered all the stuff to do it. While I'm at it, has anyone else ever added a drain plug to their 5600? I know I spoke to a gentleman on here about a year ago who did it to his, but I can't remember his name. He has a red 12v, hauls travel trailers for a big name camper company. Just wondered if anyone else besides him has done this. I'm planning on measuring 9 5/8" back from where the clutch housing meets the transmission and drilling and tapping a hole in the center of the transmission, then using a magnetic drain plug from a eaton rear out of a Mack truck.
