Hi Ted,

At the rally, Mark Etheridge commented that he runs a hose from the
transmission breather up somewhere convenient and out of the way...just
12 or 14 inches of hose...seems to be all the transmission needs and you
shouldn't get any leaks that way as the tube provides suffient capacity.

Does the 5 speed transmission breather plug have some sort of mechanism
in it to prevent oil from just puking out all the time? Mine appeared to

be gunked up so I shot some air through it and something flew out never

to be seen again.
