what is the vent hose line on top of the 4l60e? Just reinstalled the tranny and I forgot to put back on that vent hose on the top of the tranny, what does it do and how important is it?
alright thanks I appreciate it, I'll install it next time I do an oil change.

I got one used from a junkyard for pretty cheap and it definitely fit right. It seems to run just fine. If my stock trans is any indication I'll get about 50,000 more miles out of this one. That's fine with me.

Actually the HOSE is there to EXTEND the VENT TUBE down the torque arm so if fluid does come out it doesn't hit the exhaust and catch on fire.
Now how might I know this? Well I'm guessing but I had a pump bushing push the seal out on a th350, and with no dust cover the fluid went right on the header collector. Which just happened to be wrapped with that DEI crap which acted like a wick for a candle.
