These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2002 Porsche 996 3.6L N/A, automatic transmission... So I'm checking around for best price for an auto trans filter, and I get drastically conflicting results from parts dealers. Pelican and several others list one type of filter for the 2002-05 that is different from the 1999-01, BUT MANY other parts sites list THE SAME filter for all 996's 1999 - 05 (The AC Delco TF331)! Physically, the two options look very different. I have attached pics of each. I contacted ******** (which shows the 1999-type also for the 2002-05 trannies) and they SWORE that theirs is correct. They stated that their records show that they sold over 150 of these filters for 2002 911's, and that they have not received ONE return for incorrect part. What's the story?? This is the filter that Pelican says is only 1999-2001, but others say is for 1999-2005: This is the filter that Pelican and a few others say is 2002-2005 (different from 1999-01 Tips):

Our wholesale distributor shows 2 different part #'s. Porsche parts diagrams show 2 different part #'s.. Haven't had one open lately to compare....

It's kinda like the Ebola situation. No one wants to come out and make a definite statement about what's right, wrong, or acceptable. Is it POSSIBLE that either filter, regardless of their major difference in appearance, can fit??

Not really. Go by Porsche's part numbers, they are different for a reason. A lot of aftermarket websites use "generic" photos or get them completely wrong. They are trying to assemble a huge data base for the lowest cost, fecal matter occurs.

POST 5Original post

Not sure what you want to hear? Use the Porsche part numbers, and get the correct part.
