my new badass fluid burping 2004r in my chevelle

[wiredhomes]

ok so i read the previous posts and i'm now aware that a built 2004r is maybe gonna burb some fluid out the vent tube.....right?
so i just put in my 2004r in my chevelle and it's been burping from day one.
Ok, so I may have overfilled it. So i drain some fluid. California Art Carr built it by the way.....the most potent version. ok so heres how my dipstick is reading.......when cold, not even started yet, it reads way past the cross hatch. when hot,......177 degrees. it is reading just below the cross hatch. and i think it still burped a little fluid and that hot temp. i put my foot in it a little to see what it would do......after all when i make a 1/4 mi run i don't want any burping fluid going on down the track. so this last run didn't seem to burp as much but i'm concerned about the dipstick reading.
is the hot crosshatch area only going to show a reading when it's closs to 200 degrees?..... i'm stumped. I need this thing to stop spitin fluid from the vent, but i also don't know where the correct dip reading should be. I don't want to
run it low on fluid. i need some input

I'm no tranny expert, but your trans is probably running hot. Maybe a better cooler, or more fluid capacity would keep temps under control. Never had a drop vent out of mine. HTH, Brian

burping fluid

so is 177 running hot? Art says it shouldn't go above 200.
i do although have a stock steel pan. i wonder if i should go to a deep aluminum pan? do you think that's what it is?:frown: :frown:

Maybe..

Maybe u have the wrong dipstick or dipstick tube? Try to compare what u have to what is a known right application.

when cold, not even started yet, the converter fluid drains back, which raises the level on the stick. Thats the original stick tells you to check while ideling in park hot HTH

With the transmission at normal operating temperature, which should be around 190 to 200 F, you should be able to run a 200-4R with the level at one quart over the full mark (full mark being the top of the cross hatch). If your puking fluid while the level is in the cross hatch, check the accuracy of your dipstick. If the dipstick is accurate, there is a problem in the transmission.
