[Paraview] Extract unstructured grid

Hello ParaView users,

I am (used to be) a MayaVi user for quite some time now.
Recently however, I discovered ParaView and I think that it is considerably
better. I particularly enjoy the Clip option that was not available in
MayaVi1.

My question is as follows:
I run my FE computations and export unstructured_grid VTK files. Everything
looks ok except that I cannot extract part of the grid. For example,
elements 51-105. Which filter and how should I use? I should mention that
the "Extract Subset" filter is DISABLED. In MayaVi there was the Filter
"ExtractUnstructuredGrid" that would do the job, but I can't find anything
similar here.

Thanks for any help in advance,
dqdev

ps. My VTK file has the following form:
