Alternate tranny filters?

It is a 91 Legacy not a 92 SVX that had the filter. Why? Why? Why? Didn't they put that filter on the SVX is what I would like to know. Then they started to put it on the later SVX's and also to retro fit with the filter kit. Maybe the fate and reliablity of the SVX would have been much different if it had the filter from the start.

I have a question??? Is that Subaru supplied tranny filter a screen or a paper element?

It's paper.
