Also be absolutely certain that the transmission is not overfilled with ATF. Thanks John! I was wondering if this vent had anything to do with it. I recall the original auto trans I had (this is my 2nd) had a problem with that breather clogging up...when the mechanic pulled the ATF dipstick...fluid shot all over the place! What causes them to clog? Is this a common problem? Cheers! Kevin __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
