Transmission catch can placement

[40Coupe]

What type are you using and where are you mounting it in a door car. I'm struggling with an inconspicuous clean looking place to mount it and also a place that won't potentially put fluid in front of the tires if happened to overflow.

Never used/needed one.

If you're puking fluid, you're got a problem that needs to be fixed not catched.

If you are not puking or leaking fluid out of a racing transmission just means you haven't put any in yet.

It's not currently puking and never has. The vent under the shield has been plugged and a new vent tapped in the rear portion of the case. That's a much lower place on the trans and it has been recommended to me to put a catch can on it. This is a new setup and I don't want to put fluid down and learn the hard way. Just being proactive.

I put mine on the firewall on the passenger side. Any fluid that might make it up there drains back slowly.

Why? My vent remains in the stock location and it too is under the shield as it has been since I first starting using a shield 13 years and thousands of passes ago, all without puking a drop.

Do as you wish with your car, might want to install a parachute too.

That's a mystery and I don't have any clues but am doing what has been recommended since the vent is in that location.

That would be a good problem to have. That would mean I tripped 150 MPH in the 1/4, a really good problem. LOL
