Hi, I was changing the transmission fluid on my 1973 coupe.. it has the c-4 automatic transmission. When I took the filter off this weird little brass fitting fell into the drip pan.. the fluid looks good I can just tell it's old. There were no chicks of any kind.. here is a picture. Any idea what this is? Also I had to update my email so I will get notifications now on responses.. thank you

Torque Converter Drain back valve.
Its behind the filter and comes free when you pull the filter on C4.
Easy to loose little bugger. Valve cup to inside on re install.

Ahh yes I figured it out by looking at an Exploded parts view of the transmission. It had me freaked out for a minute.. Thank you though!
