Well either your shop took in my opinion a great deal of time or lied to you (I am guessing the second). Since I have time I will give a more detailed explanation to you of my DIY experience compared to a "my shop had no problem, are you confused" post.

Image A: Number eight on this image shows you the location of the filter. The filter has a circle cover with a circle retaining pin to secure the filter cap.

Image B: Shows the filter blocked by what seems to be lines connected to the DCT's pump system.

Also, when I was underneath my car I realized the difficulty of replacing the filter and it almost seems impossible without removing these lines (I am sure you can tell) and I couldn't find a point to remove these lines and honestly didn't want to go that far into it. Like I had said before in my last post, the fluid was so clean I wasn't even worried about the filter. I am talking so clean I could have poured it into bottles and sold it to you new none the wiser.
