Hi,
Using 5speed out of e34 5speed .
Trans shifts perfect, no grinding, bought it used from one of the local BMW recyclers for my swap. Filled it up per Bentley manual with Royal Purple Synchromax ...everything seemed to go well, except that I found some oil came out the top vent hose and made a mess in the trans tunnel, got a wet spot above the vent hose as I actually smelled trans fluid while driving. Put the car on the lift and found oil on top of the trans where the vent hose, and right above it.
So, reading about this it seems SPEC guys add a tube with a catch can or at the vert least a long enough with a small breather filter.
Question - has anyone else experienced this on a STREET car? My gearing is a bit short so I am wondering if me driving for about 10 miles @ 75-80 @ 4k rpm is what did this?
Thanks
