Thumbs up Oil filter failure

Hi guys,
Sometime ago I had xmssn slippage problems which i couldn"t figure out the remedy as all the adjustments done on the vacuum modulator didn't rectify the slippage. After doing the process of elimination I decided to change the fluid filter,on pulling the xmssn pan and taking down the filter I observed through the filter inlet orifice, pleats inside were collapsed thus blocking,restricting and/or allowing dirty fluid in the valve body.On replacing the filter with a new unit,leak /level checking,run xmssn through the gears to allow fluid to fill system went for a road test.The car ran beautifully,no more slippage.One thing I never checked was the brand filter that was taken out.So guys its most important to replace parts with genuine replacements (might cost more but don"t fail as cheaper ones do) my 0.02c
