I have a 1988 Voyager, 3 spd, A670 trans, 180,000 miles. Doing a fluid and filter change (Van is seldom used and after a long time sitting mostly idle tranny was reluctant to shift into third - added some Seafoam conditioner, drove ~10 miles and it started to shift into 3rd OK, then I'm changing the filter and fluid). The filter gasket appears to fit around/over two screws in the valve body, but holes in filter are a bit smaller than screw heads - do screws need to come out, gasket installed and screws put back in? Or is OK to leave screws in and depend on filter pushing gasket over/around screws ? (I noticed on another post where someone complained about gasket installed by AAMCO being "dimpled over screws"? The old gasket was not being held in place by the screws, it came out stuck to the old filter.
