The recommended locations I have seen would interfere with the CSR transmission shield that I run. I don't want to modify the shield at all in fear that it might not get re certified that way Is there any issue with locating the vent in the tail housing? 68 Barracuda Formula S 340

I had an overfill or over overheat situation last year where it barfed fluid it out of the vent and it caught fire on the headers on the side of the highway. Luckily there was zero damage and after it did that it never did it again. 68 Barracuda Formula S 340

If my car ever 100% didn't leak trans fluid I would worry about it. My 727 leaked just enough I topped it off before drag week each year lol. 68 Barracuda Formula S 340

But here’s a pict of the trans and the location of the vent. The plastic breather is gone and a 90 degree airline quick connect is in its place.
