another 200 question

What would make it basically pump the fluid out of the vent tube(this one is near bellhousing). It is fresh and Ultrabell is installed if that matters. Chrome pan also

Sounds like to much fluid, the after market locking dip sticks are not real accurate. Better to have to much then to little, run a tube from the over flow vent to a catch tank. Gary Stinnet sells a nice one.

The venting system has passages that run through the pump . It is critical that the pump cover and pump body have flat surfaces with no burrs . The bolts need to be torqued to specs . Also some aftermarket trans recalibrations run too much line pressure , and that could cause cross channel leaks into the venting system . Probably best to relocate the vent to the back of the case , and plug the bellhousing vent . If that's not possible , add a hose on to the vent tube and run that down to a catch bottle .

I gave up on attempting to baffle the vent hole through the pump .There's just too much fluid flying off the direct drum , at the the RPMs these things see, in race cars.
As Russ said , I move the vent to the rear. There's a flat area up top that had a vent on the very early models. You can tap a hole to 1/8th pipe and add a fitting and contain any fluid easier there.
Pull the tube out of the case up front, and J-B weld it up.

Mark, my question is why did this start. It did not do it before. Only change was eshift vb to Sepanek manual vb and added an ultrabell. Bell is not touching case but there are 3 tabs sticking out by pump that I had to touch with a grinder, maybe pump is not seating all the way?
