are all tranny filters the same? 5R55W 5R55S 5R55E ECT?

[nasty_north]

i went into the local Canadian Tire store and asked for a filter. their records show 4 speed & 14 or 18 screw gaskets for pan. iM pretty sure i have a 5 speed. or is it 4 + Overdrive?

i have a 5r55S. how do i make sure i get the right filter? are they the same for all variations like 5r55E and 5r55W? i read that the W and S are sisters ....any recommended vendors/sites to get this product would be greatly appreciated!

this looks like the site i should buy from, but they wont ship to canada
