no way
was this a nonlock ..if so was the trans converted to non lock
its possible the weld at the converter neck is leaking ..it has happened
are you certain its not a trans cooler line, tv cable seal or fill tube seal
the previous converter was a non lock, it had been in the car for about 10+ years. I had the trans rebuilt last year and put this same converter back in, so when the old converter was put in either of those two times I assume it was converted but I'm not 100% sure. What's funny is I jacked up the car, front and rear, about 1 1/2 feet into the air and ran the car until it warmed up and crawled under and couldn't find any leaks. I didn't run through the gears, I left it in park, so not sure if thatd have an effect on the leak. I read last night about others having the welds at the neck leaking, hopefully that's not the case for me..
If you switch to a NL convertor ?are you not running a aftermarket cooler ?the trans fluid is prob getting really hot and blowing out the breather.
Did u replace the front pump seal?
With the size of the convertor even a lock-up would produce Enough heat to have it blow out the vent tube
Lastly U don't want any trans running above 200* and through a factory rad cooler the temps are already around that temp with a stock convertor
I know u said u went around the block and the statements I said might not be heat related but idk how far is around the block is
I'm not running and aftermarket cooler yet I'got a derale cooler a couple days ago just haven't had the time to mount and plumb it.
I think the pump deal was replaced when I had the trans rebuilt last year, but not 100% certain.
I'm going from a 9" to a 9.5", j don't think I've ever had any fluid come out the vent tube, none that I can remember. so if it did it must've been a really small amount which is the opposite of the amount I'm seeing now.
I'm running an alradco cooler with their 2 big fans, coming on at 190° and off at 180°. That's coolant temp though, not sure what the trans temps are getting to. I let the car warm up to about 165° in the driveway on my maiden voyage, drove lightly only getting into second gear occasionally, and coolant temps were getting up high enough to kick the fans on. then I got out and checked the fluid level, checked under the car for any leaks, and after those checked out I made a light pull starting in 1st from a roll and I got it into 2nd gear then let off. But this was a light pull, maybe 10# boost, the SM G didn't even record it.
