I just replaced mine and ran into the same challenges..... Currently, it's a
dealer item only part, but it is not recommended to use aftermarket.. the
trannys are so tempermental that any unstabilities can cause damage. Also,
get a tranny drain plug kit; it will make you life alot easier next time.
And, most important: make sure you install the seal in the tranny before you
install the filter...VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!! and only use +3 fuild....
later

Subject: DML: 45rfe filter source
I am servicing my transmission soon & am looking for a reasonable
source to purchase the filters for my 45rfe. I found the following
information in the archives, (and realize that 4x2 & 4x4 have different
filters) but no reference to availability. Napa doesn't seem to have
them. Could anyone recommend somewhere to purchase these, or should I
just go to a dealer for these?
