Transmission oil filter

[Reveeen]

Does anybody know a part number for a 3rd party auto transmission oil filter?

 

What I'm talking about:

1991 Legacy auto, with the external transmission filter kit (# 31099AA091) as can be seen here:

Why I'm asking:

My dealer lists the kit @ $42 out the door (with taxes), digging around in the parts book there appears to be a filter availaible for that kit (sorry I didn't get the number) for $105. This makes no sense to me.

You probably don't need to buy an aftermarket part. First, see this thread to better understand the situation: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61890&highlight=31099AA091

 

Then, buy from an online dealer, and pay about $20 including shipping. Here's one: http://www.subaruparts.com/cart/?pn=31099AA091 . That's just an example, and I'm not endorsing any particular dealer; there are several others whose pricing will be about the same.

Hey!

Thanks for the link(s), either way it looks like $40 to me ($42 from local dealer, or $10+$16 shipping, +15% GST (group sex tax) +duty (as it is a Japanese OEM part) +$5 to collect the GST and duty).

If I get it in my hand and can cross it to something intelligent I will post back!

 

And Subaru wonders why car sales are slow, between this kind of "stuff", and recommended timing chain change @168K on the H-6, I *guess* they just aren't "getting it"?
