Do you have any more info on this? And thanks for the feedback!
Same TSB, some of them online are missing paperwork regarding the magnet placement though. Placement is really what is critical here as there is reason for them being placed on certain areas of the pan, the new round magnets are what I would go with over the squares as the squares have a tendency to become overloaded quickly, that was the purpose of the TSB. While im sure that you probably wont hurt anything with the magnets where they are, I wouldnt risk potentially having an issue with interference from the magnets by going "hog wild" with them. The two on the plan are plenty trust me, having multiple magnets attached to the filter and in locations that werent originally designed for them could cause more issues then they help solve. Given how your building the trans I dont think your gonna have issues where the magnets need to scoop up a ton of material, and the rest the filter and regular maintenance can handle just fine. Hate to see you develop some phantom issue as a result of magnets.
