Let me start by saying this GM Genuine Parts transmission filter kit is the real deal. After installing it in my 2001 Suburban with 217k miles, I can confidently say it performs just like OEM - because it basically is!

The packaging is bombproof. My kit arrived shrink-wrapped to cardboard, preventing any damage during shipping. Some reviewers complained about packaging, but mine was perfect. You can clearly see the ACDelco branding, so no worries about counterfeit parts here.

Installation was surprisingly straightforward. The filter snapped into place with a satisfying 'click', and the gasket aligned perfectly with my deep pan. No leaks after 1,000+ miles - that ridged gasket design really works! Pro tip: don't overtighten those pan bolts (15 ft/lbs is sweet spot).

What impressed me most? The quality difference versus aftermarket filters. The phenolic resin construction handles temperature swings beautifully, and the fibers look durable enough to last another 100k miles. For the price, this kit is a no-brainer for any GM transmission service.

Pair this with some Havoline Dexron VI (grab it on Amazon Prime!) for a complete fluid refresh. Your transmission will thank you with buttery smooth shifts for years to come.
