Really all the stock 5th gens have are 4 magnets in the pan and a simple screen in the trans pan, so I am wanting something more substantial. I had a Honda Odyssey with one of the least reliable transmissions (2003) and got the original trans to go 400k with combo of the Magnefine and using Amsoil Signature Series ATF fluid (despite being told van would self destruct if I didn’t use Honda OEM trans fluid).
I have no clue where I would add the Magnefine filter except I am told it should be (transmission fluid flow) after the radiator and heading towards the transmission. Would appreciate it if anyone who has a diy how-to or knows of a video to please share with me. Much appreciated.

I think you are trying to solve a problem that doesnt need to be solved. At the same time you are introducing something that could actually reduce the reliability of your transmission. I just pulled my AT filter out and changed my fluid for the first time after 145,000 miles and it was doing its job just fine
