No, you saw a locknut/bolt thingy.

Just guessing
Did you get those books yet? That's the first step before taking things apart.

Sorry, I don't aim to sound pissy, but taking things apart before you have at least a basic understanding of what you're doing is a fast way to cost money and break cars.
I didn't take it wrong Dan. I just drained the fluid, and cleaned everything up. I didn't buy the Super Tech. It made me nervous!

Wow, the filter that advance gave me is larger, and missing one of the pick up holes?
But when I went to auto zone online. They show the same filter also.
Is this a replacement filter? I am concerned since it is missing one of those larger holes.

The photo will blow up larger.

The 2-hole filter is meant for pre-1966 transmissions (which must have the 2-hole filter), but can be used on later transmissions. The 1-hole filter is for '66-up transmissions and must not be used on '65 or earlier transmissions. The larger filter will fit fine. Go ahead and use it in your '71.

Welcome on the board. Your transmission is an A904. A band-and-linkage adjustment will probably make the shift engagement more consistent, and a fluid and filter change will also help (newer fluid is much better than old fluid, just on a formula/performance basis -- not to mention the degradation that comes with fluid age).

For fluid, use Chrysler ATF+4 or a reputable brand of Dexron-VI. Save yourself a great deal of trouble and go to the dealer for a rigid pan gasket part number 4295 875AC (may have superseded to -AD, or -AE, etc.; that's fine).
i realized today i'm about a pint low....would dexron-VI apply for a '61 as well?

You know what...."Damnit". I should have listened to you Dan!!
I bought the cheapo tranny pan gasket, and its leaking. Ugh!!
I need to find a Mopar dealer and get the good gasket. Thats what I get for trying to save some money, and time for searching for the good gasket.
