Re: O4 TJ Tranny Vent
Too bad you couldn't get a fitting to slip over the stub and glue it
with something like JB Weld. My button vent just pulled out and a piece of 5/16 steel gas line fit the hole perfect. I had to tap it in and I used JB Weld just for good measure. I then had a nipple for some flexible transmission cooler line I used for all the vents. I just made a cane handle shape where I terminated them so the openings are pointed down. Been good for 6 years. Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's Canadian Off Road Trips Photos: Non members can still view!

I imagine your home/barn in Colorado to be fully equipped, as all
ranch/farms must be.
