I tore a Sprag up on a converter last year that caused trans to overheat and push fluid out the breather but didn’t get it on my tires luckily. I am putting catch cam on for this reason. A little insurance never hurt and yep trans was built by Rossler.

I read an old post on YB from Pete at Hughes who advised the OP "Overfull, overheating, loose/cracked/damaged filter extension up near case entry, loose valve body bolts/leaks at valve body, or warped/mismatched pump halves are all potential causes for fluid venting." I wonder how common that scenario is. Replacing the filter extension tube is something I can do without pulling the trans out.

That said, all that matters is I've got the Wally's and you don't!
Meanwhile, I was at Atco all day today making passes without a trans puke tank just as I have for 30 years because my transmissions don't puke and of course you weren't there, no different than any other day at Atco.

I actually was at the track today after my son's soccer game. Didn't see you but I wasn't looking, all I saw was imports. Racing was over at 5 o'clock. Sad to say, but I will agree with 1320 that drag racing is dying.
PS I never had a trans can but I don't think it would hurt.This message has been edited. Last edited by: M120,
was told 170 cars were there. Saw many street cars including a new corvette, some imports and 2 lanes of real race cars. We did see 3 familiar faces....Rick Mattioli, Steve Vancranest and Ed Franks.
Was pitted right at the entrance to the lanes, Made the 2 passes we had planned and hit the exit by 4:00.

Well just proves my point you got as many as me NONE ! And I have as many as I claimed to own... none. Never said I had one but I have never tried to win one either.
