the only place it could go is to the vent on the top of the bellhousing.why an overflow,i think that is insane.i could see routing the vent lower than the exhaust system to remove the change of the oil catching fire on the exhaust.what is your reasoning for this bruce?
Going back awhile, we first installed them with stock pans so guys could run a tad overfull and if it vented upon filling or hot after a pass, tranny fluid would not get on floor or most important, under the tires after a hard run.
NHRA even called after seeing one on a car and thought it a GREAT idea.
Then came the PTS XTREME Trademarked Aluminum pans with the trademarked "Bottom Feeder Kit". Now, they are just used to catch any fluid upon fill up if the trans should "burb" which they are so notorious for.
And.... "YES" to the original question.. It attaches to the vent tube on the top of the trans.
No matter what trans you have or who built it, The overflow bottle system is a good idea for 3 reasons. The 2 mentioned above, and if the trans should ever get hot due to us beating on the converter hard then a hard run, ( and we all know NONE OF US DO THAT :wink: ) and it does belch a bit out out of the vent, it will not get on exhaust and catch fire, or mess up the bottom of your car or at the worst, oil the tires and cause you to lose your ride and possibly your life. Just a little fluid makes a huge mess to clean up not to metion the wife on your butt for the stains in the driveway

So....Did I do good , Chris?

I am insane anyway, so just par for the course.. Sometimes, you kill me man. :biggrin:
