Well, last weeks tropical storm raised some cane in southern MD. I had to work 20 hours last Friday and all day Saturday & Sunday for clean up.
Friday night many of the roads were flooded and I got to do some TJ canoeing glad I drove my TJ to work. Had to cut through fields due to down trees and power lines too other wise I would not been able to get home.
The short of it is that the tranny vent went under water no biggy had the tranny fluid on the shelf drained flushed and good to go. I will be extending the vent to the top rear of the engine compartment. Rather than use the method that has been posted which requires removal of the OEM vent and gluing in a plastic elbow. I am popping off the top of the vent cap and then installing a 1/2" hose w/clamps and reducer to 3/8" tubing. Then I will be taking a piece of 3/8" copper tubing cutting 4 notches in it to allow for the tranny to breath and soldering a 1/2" cap on top of the tubing to create a bonnet preventing water from entering.
It just seems easier and a good alternative to what has been posted in the past.
