Some do fit snug (rubber grab). If you don't blame me if something breaks, I would suggest increasing the pressure - but, I never heard of you if something bad happens. I assume you can get the lid off with no trouble, right? So you are just dealing with getting the air filter itself off? Unless a cockroach has welded itself in there, the filter "should" pull right out with a little twist and turn - assuming someone put the correct filter in to start with.

Yes I did that. There were 4 hold down clamps on mine . It is very odd that is won't come off. I was able to pry it open a little bit today. the filter looks clean but I still want to get it off. Rogo

I assume that you have removed the top wing bolt, unclipped the 3 hold down clamps, and tried to pull the top straight up?

John,
The way I heard it:
The original GM Hydramatic was one of the most efficient automatic transmissions available. But GM could not get it smooth enough for luxury cars, so they invented a new transmission to replace it.
RR bought it and made it carefully and it was so smooth that it was fine for the RR.
They tightened up the tolerances and used wavy plates in the clutches.

I remember reading that RR destroyed a few Turbo-hydramatics by polishing the interior channels, which were designed to have irregular surfaces to create turbulence in the fluid.

In my opinion, an even better transmission; the only automatic battle-tested in World War II, four of them were installed in the little M24 "Chaffee" light tank. (Hydra-Matic was also used by Hudson, Nash, even arch-rival Lincoln.)
