I bought one this summer from Amazon for $25 and had it Prime delivered in two days. Just checked before posting this reply and it is now $45. Could be the the pricing game Amazon appears to be playing now a days. Good luck.

If your 6L80E has the factory rubber gasket do not damage it. It is very reusable and much better than the cork cheapies...

+1, I remember in the old days the first time I had an experience with a 1-piece 302/5.0 pan gasket, compared to the half-moons and cork strips. Not only was it super simple and no leaks, the rubber gaskets most always have metal grommets in them to prevent over-tightening the bolts. Be gentle, take your time, and save yourself cost and leak potential by reusing the factory rubber.

You often get the gasket with the filter but if its a cheap cork one ditch it for a Felpro. WIX filter or OEM filter.
The gasket may not need to be replaced but be prepared with one.
Install a Magnefine inline filter and pretty much forget about changing the one in the transmission.

Supposedly it works the same in my 1999 Alero 4T45-E, but do I really want to reuse a gasket made in 1998?
I purchased a GM OE filter from Rock Auto for my 6L90. No complaints. It’s true the seal assembly is a bear to remove. In my 6L90, ( not sure how different it is to a 6L80), the seal is recessed quite a ways in and it’s hard to get the old seal out. Then you need to drive the new seal in. ( a properly sized socket works). Next time I might just leave the old one in.
I purchased a 6L80 Baldwin filter from RA as that is all they had, came with a rubber pan gasket so that was a bonus.

I like the reuasble ones, but an aquaintance of mine you is a tranny builder likes the cork ones better, asked him why, he said he can tell if it has been changed or not. In other words, evidence of a filter change.
