Well I posed my first question earlier on "battery vent" a little too late. I connected the vent of my new battery to the vent for the transmission using the adapter provided with the battery before I found out this was the transmission vent instead of a battry vent tube. I drove a mere 20 miles with this connection and now Ford tells me my trans case has a pinhole in it and fluid is coming out this pinhole at a pretty good rate. I would have thought any pressure buildup would have blown my bad connection or blown out the dipstick before it would blow a hole in the case. They want $2800 for a remanufactured trans and $500 to replace oil pan gaskets and $195 to replace 02 sensors.
This must be one poorly constructed casing if they are being honest and I have no way of knowing.
Has anyone ever heard of a pinhole in a autotrans for a V6 2.5L DOHC especially caused by pressure built on a 20 mile, 25 minute drive in 40 degree weather?
