How many of you are using gear pumps instead of diaphragm types and what filter element (micron) sizes are you using?

When I added the pump and cooler setup to the race car years ago, I used a complete setup from Jim Patrick in Phoenix AZ and while costing a bit more than working a bunch to find the parts, everything was in the box and it took a weekend to do the install. The longest part is pulling the trans, opening it up and then drill/tap for the spray nozzles on top, then cleaning everything and putting it back together. We used Earl's braided hose, AN fittings and ran one from the regular atmospheric vent to the puke tank so there would not be an vapors escaping which happens when you have an extra quart of fluid (4 instead of 3). The pump is a gear or positive displacement unit and worked fine and saved my transmissions for sure! I used a spare drain plug and tapped it for the suction and the filter was in the pump suction line but we never found anything after many many races. Here is a pict. of how it is installed in the rear trunk.
