I have found a page on that site that is VERY VERY interesting!! Here is a quick quote:

"After six months of working alternative design configurations for the CD4E Transmission Sump Filter, Filtertek developed a filter design solution that eliminated the early wear out problem. The improvement results were significant with the overall achievement of extending the transmission integrity to well beyond the limit of the vehicle warranty. There was a 400% improvement in filter integrity at 150,000 miles and increased reliability from 72% to 99.5% at 150,000 miles.
"



Sounds like we need to get ahold of this company and find out how to get these filters in our trannies.
