Abstract
A transmission filter includes a baffle with a valve. The baffle defines front and rear openings. When a vehicle climbs or descends a hill, the valve moves in response to the weight of fluid on a higher side of the baffle. The valve prevents flow from the higher of the front and rear openings preventing air ingestion into the filter.
