I got the fittings to relocate the vent while I have it all tore down, so that will be the next thing I do before it gets time to start reassembling

Yeah, there's no reason not to do that while you're in there. How did you close up the pump vent?
I have some brass 1/4” npt countersunk plugs, so I tapped it and used one of them. Figured it would probably be the best option so that I don’t have to worry about it interfering with the torque converter
I don't remember what size I used, but I should've gone one size bigger on the tap because that I do have barely threads in. When I rebuilt mine, I didn't disassemble the pump because I was a scared little girl, but if I ever have to open it up again I will fix that proper.
I dissembled the pump and did the plug because I was worried about getting shavings in there. Unfortunately I didn’t think about relocating the vent until after I had started the rebuild, so I had to take it back apart but it was only 6 bolts so it was simple enough. I’m just glad I thought about it before it was all back together, I might’ve cried a little lol
Don't believe the hype on the tranny puking up fluid after you move the vent. I'm 100% convinced that only happens when people (a) overfill their trans and (b) have a low spot in the breather hose.

@TJ Jim have you noticed how @John Cooper is getting like Kamala ? When we're picking on Alabama he's from Georgia but any other time he's from Alabama, he would make a good politician
Next week he'll be hollering ROLL TIDE but claim he's a GA Bulldawg !!!!
Well…..you know, em bama boys love their sisters and sometimes their cousins. Just depends on the crowd he’s pandering to. 
Even if a little fluid does come up it’s been than the water that was in the tranny when I tore it apart. I should’ve took pics but didn’t think about it at the time

Thank you for the welcome! I live right on the Bama/Georgia border and there’s plenty of people that move over the Chattahoochee and instantly convert lol - not sayin that about @John Cooper , just my local goons

I do have some hot cousins, just never was able to get em’ quite drunk enough…. Unfortunately

Um no sir, born and raised in Athens Georgia and a Bulldawg for life.

Maybe a cousin but I have no brothers or sisters
Well, I was a Bama fan until my oldest daughter headed down to Troy a couple years ago. Now that they get my money I’m a bonafide Trojan - and what a horrible time to become one
…. My middle daughter is a high school senior and got her acceptance letter from Bama on Wednesday, so I might become a man divided. I’m sure they have a term for it nowadays like “fan fluid or bi-collegiate” either way I’m going to be one broke dude

The way Bama is looking you might want to stay a Trojan
Was in watkinsville last month. We went to visit my dad's family cemetery.
Then to Ila Georgia to visit my mom's family cemetery.

Unfortunately Troy is at 1-6 right now and just came off a 9-25 lose to their rival South Alabama that hasn’t beat them in 6 years
Even if a little fluid does come up it’s been than the water that was in the tranny when I tore it apart. I should’ve took pics but didn’t think about it at the time
For sure. The truth is that fluid will in all likliehood come up the hose a certain distance, but if you have a low point in the hose some amount will settle there rather than draining back down into the transmission. So now you basically have a fluid "plug" in the breather hose, so when pressure builds up it has no choice but to push the fluid plug up the hose. I had this happening but I finally figured it out when I was adding transmission fluid and I heard it bubbling/gurgling. When I straightened out the hose the gurgling went away and it never spit up on my again.
I said 100%, but it's more like 99% certain. I also added an aux cooler so it is possible that the lowered temps have not allowed for a spit up situation to arise.
Makes sense, kinda like a transmission fluid p-trap if you don’t the line straight an uphill. I have been reading on here about coolers, that’s something I was going to ask about after I finish the rebuild
