Exactly. Save the money, and wash the old one out. There will be nout in it anyway, unless there's a problem with the box, in which case you won't need the filter anyway, you'll need a new box.  ... Or maybe just a thrust washer.

The filtering of smaller particles is done by the magnet in the sump anyway. ;)

That's a lot of anyways isn't it . ;D

  I  have replaced one on a 160k AR35  & got it from JPAT. But . . .   I would not bother again as after washing out it came up good as new . Fluid change is the important thing on a high mileage box IMO ;)
