727 trans is about 1/2 inch above the full mark. Is that enough to make it blow out the vent? Factory vent in bell housing.
Thanks

Yes. Always better to be a little under it rather than over it.
Especially if your running a dep pan I run the Mopar steel dep pans and try to run it at the add line when cold or between the bottom of the dipstick and the add line when hot, whatever turns your crank As long as it is showing on the stick in nuetral with the motor running your probally good
Well I'm pretty sure I just figured out where my slight leak is coming from. Thanks So as long as I have some showing on the stick with the deep mopar pan I'm good?

We drained about a qt out of it so was between the lines cold. Started it and it still leaks, even when there is nothing on the dipstick. Trans comes out tomorrow (hopefully) mopar race is this weekend at Bristol.

Been using the same dipstick for years. Thanks for the reply.
Trans is out. I don't see anything wrong, or missing, or cracked. It goes to the trans shop in the AM.
I think I can still make the Mopar race this weekend.

I'll be watching this thread closely as i also have a bell housing leak that giving me fits Cab care to share your method for presure testing a converter?Sorry not trying to hi-jack.
I use a cable testing end I rescued, borrowed for pressurizing telephone cables on the cable reels from the telephone company I use to work for, we would throw them away after installing the cables on the poles or into the conduits, see the picture They came in all sizes, I use them to pressurised a lot of things like radiators, motors, torque converters and so on. I wish that I had save more of them
