    Th350 spews fluid

    Yes, and when it stops puking then reverse is slow to get going and slips alot. Topping it off brings back reverse. I’ve threaded a thin wire into the vent , doesn't go very far but is hitting metal. I’ve assumed it’s clear because the fluid comes out there now.

    Th350 spews fluid

    Yeah....happened to me a few years ago but it did’nt catch fire, just smoked like crazy. Used simple green to clean up everything under the hood. Took out the plastic vent and now the fluid blows out there. So will do the flush and check dipstik length, hope that works. I’ve also read somewhere...

    Th350 spews fluid

    Hose and or string both make sense, I’ll do both just to confirm the measurements. Might also start looking at wrecking yards for a 350 dipstick to compare or replace. No shop space in my world so this will have to happen on a day between PNW rain storms!

    Th350 spews fluid

    Looking for expert advice. My Th350 blows fluid out of the dipstick tube. I checked the vent, seems clear. I removed the vent altogether and now the fluid blows out there onto the ground. Have to top off the fluid fairly often. Not a daily driver but making monthly dump runs. Otherwise the trans...

    Turbo 350 (TH350) Information Thread

    Hello 77 K20, I am having the same problem with my TH350. Almost had a fire under the hood when the fluid hit the headers! I pulled out the vent and now the fluid just goes out there. I have to top off the Tranny often and the bottom of the trans pan is starting to rust. The fluid has removed...
