1988 THR700

slip a piece of hose over the breather tube and route it higher would be a good way...........

I was thinking of that but I also thought it looked like it was rotting and about ready to fall of on it's own. I then thought of drilling a hole and mounting some kind of a nipple. My own response to that was "lunacy". That is why I am at a cross roads....

those things are either plastic or metal, depending on year

never seen one 'rotten'

Probably covered in 15 years worth of s*it making it look like it's rotting out. I know mine sure does, but is solid underneath all the crud.

How do you figure a 1988 700R4 is 18 years old?

Doc

Because I mixed the years of all 3 vehicles. The tranny in my K5 is an 83', the tranny it broke off of is an 85' and the S10 that fell out of god's navel is an 88'

I apologize for my stupidity.

I do and I don't. I'd like to say I can. All the breathers in my drive train are generally about the same height so and there relatively high - right up to the floor pan. I doubt I'll ever go deeper than that.

KJ, =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0you don't need to even put a vent hose on it, if you're not planning on going through any heavy water and submerging the tranny.

Both of these 700's fell out of 4x4's and neither had more than a 2 inch tube.

that's the 'factory' vent tube

most 4x4's have a length of tubing added with a TH-350-style vent on the other end
