71 duster bolt pattern?

Anyways…I didn’t fix the problem last year being “trans fustrated” until I took the car out today. The problem seems to be “more” servere and is even shifting later then before (WTF). She won’t upshift until 2700 1-2 and 3800 2-3. (Cars just screaming to shift and I feel like a…
