1959 Cadillac Transmission Filter / Screen Jetaway Controlled Coupling

[Joshua]

Good Morning Everyone,

I am searching for an oil filter/screen for my 1959 Jetaway (Controlled Coupling) transmission. Part number is 8618773 and is a one year only part. This is a long shot as I have tried everyone I know of and they do not have it (Fatsco, Auto Tran, Charlie Tranny). Please let me know if you have one for sale. Attached picture is courtesy of another thread I found on this site.

Thanks,
Josh

Thank you Vince for the lead, much appreciated.

Auto Tran is showing it on his site, so must be out of stock.
Assume it's completely missing as can be repaired with 400 mesh screen or find used.
You can interchange and find what other vehicles used it and see if available ex Cad.
Try some of the other parts vendors; Kanter, All Cads, and see.   
Otherwise, have to improvise.

You could use one from 1956 to 1958 and close the inlet from the rear pump. 1959 was the first year without the rear pump, which explain it's one year only: 1960 and later had a real oil filter.
