Hi all,
I noticed the aftermarket tranny filter for my 4T65E tranny did not seat all the way into the tranny and looked a little off, I noticed that a metal edge of the filter was hanging up against the inside of the tranny, so I took it out and bent over the metal edge til it cleared.
May not affect every "brand" of aftermarket filter, but since even GM gets it's filters from China, anything is possible!
Just found out other folks noticed the same thing. There's Pics in the PDF below:

Since the metal edge is not a considered part of the critical "fit/function" check, the chinese had no tranny to realize the edge does not hang in space but contacts the tranny inside, it looks like a .050" interference.
