Transmission Puking Fluid

Transmission Puking Fluid
In my 97 s10 blazer awd i got a check engine light...decided to get it checked out and it said something olong the lines of the ecu detecting slippage in 4th gear...one of the reccomendations on stuff to check was trans fluid...well i pulled the dipstick and immediatly the dipstick started gushing trans fluid everywhere.....my only guesss would be its building excess pressure some how....is there a vent somewhere on thes tranny's? or what can it be?thanks in advance, for any info

The vent for the transmission is located on the top of the transmission case about 1/3rd of the way down from the bell housing and slightly to the driver side of the case. That is an interesting problem...

yea i dont quite understand it either....it slips a little bit..maybe 1-200 rpms while driving at highway speeds...if u pul the tranny dipstick and bleed off the pressure it quits the rpm bouncing or "slipping" so i have no clue whats up with it

i was thinking about this again....would a cloged transmission cooler cause this? because the previous owner did blow a transmission out of this thing...and im thinking maybe the tranny cooler slipped their mind??

It is a possibility. I wouldn't expect it to flow up the dipstick tube though. The transmission vent is much lower than that...

the only vent i found was a line that ran from the top of the transmission case and was tied into a vacuum fitting that goes into the rear of the transfercase...thats literally all i could feel/find on the transmission

Hi,
I cant eather find the tranny case vent. i heart that some kind of pipe spuld run from top of the case to somewere...
yeei - i found the vent. the pipe was bent so no air/fluid could get past.
I last drove my car about a month ago. i think it was slipping a little but i only drve few miles.
Today i wantd to move my car to have better access under the car. I put it in R and gave little gas - nothing happened. I tryed D - still nothing happened.
what should i do to get it working???
