Default 545RFE Tranny Filters

Does anyone know where to get the tranny oil cooler filter from? i asked autozone and they only had the flat tranny filter, which i already have.. I got 109,000 miles on it and im not sure the last time the tranny fluid was changed, and according to the Haynes manual the 545RFE has the oil cooler return filter. Also i couldn't find where to get the "filter seal" . I just don't want to start something and not have everything I need, any help would be appreciated, thanx.

The spin on and flat filter? I get those at autozone, they sell them as a set. About 14bucks I think.

Sorry, just noticed you got the 4.7. Not sure if same tranny

Transmissions are the same, if all else fails check the dealer, might go with the dealer in any event there where some, bleed down, issues with some earlier filters.

Agreed, I got my filters from AZ some time back also. I THINK the both of them was about $25 but dont hold me to it. Make sure you remove and replace the metal o-ring in the valve body and THEN put the flat filter back in place. Might wanna also add a drain plug in the pan while you have it down and out
