when relocting a trans breather i know some,including Cope Trans,recommend drilling into the main case web.
is there any problem with just drilling and fitting a breather/pipe fitting in the extension housing ?
i am thinking of putting a 90 degree 1/8NPT fitting here and running a 3/8" breather hose up to the engine bay

I originally had mine there and it  all over ,,finally put it where it belonged and not even a dribble since.

I have mine there.
I originaly had a -4 line going up to a diff breather and it would still spew fluid out.
I now have a -6 line going up to a Jr dragster catch can mounted on the fire wall.

Bill,Dartman,
thanks for the responce.
Bill i also will use a small catch can.
i am just a little leary of drilling in the web as the trans is not coming apart.i will be using an aluminium plug in the pump.
all goes well i will get the trans out this arvo
Doc,it drops about 5-10cc out of the bell housing after each pass,but only at the drags not when daily driven

PS: C4's have the breather on the extension housing though there is a cast baffle under it

If done correctly the only thing you would have to take off would be the extention housing,, which if you drilled it then it would have to take it off anyway to clean out the chips,, when you drill the housing your not supposed to break into the internal area of the case, wish I had a pic of what I am talking about, it would be easier to understand.

If you do decide to use the tail shaft, Remember there is a fluid passage that runs along the top. It feeds fluid to the rear bushing for lubrication.
