Terry and all: Yes, it seems that that might solve the symptoms --- BUT what is the real problem (or cause)? Why does it burp in the first place? Could it be a heat related problem? Or maybe something to do with the Torque Converter? Or as some have suggested, a design flaw because of the tube not being tall or long enough? Does it leak out only while driving or after sitting for awhile? It seems that most people will analyze a problem by its symptoms (the way doctors are forced to investigate what is wrong with us) – and instead of fixing the real problem, invariable they will “fix” the symptoms instead of the problem. I call it the band aid fix. Then maybe the problem will manifest itself later with other symptoms. I just like to know what causes things to happen?

I have a solution, what I call the "Redneck answer", crude, cheap but very effective. It's been on my 300D for decades. Get a rubber stopper (a cork, if you will) of the appropriate size, and slice it halfway thru. Slip it over the top of the dipstick, just under the cap, use a little rubber cement, and you are done! Less than a buck, and all your problems go away. ________________________________ From: keboonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:kboonstra%40zeegroup.com> > To: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:Chrysler300%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 11:59 PM Subject: [Chrysler300] Transmission Wet Burps on a '57 Somebody's got to have a brilliant answer for me here. My 300C transmission keeps burping fluid up the fill tube and I don't why or how to stop it. It lands on my right frame rail and drips off to make a mess of the floor besides. I followed instructions in the service manual and pulled out both the regulator valve and the torque converter valve, polished them both up, and re-installed them. There was only very minor scratching on either of them. No help at all. Anything else the manual suggests as a cause looks to be much more involved.. The transmission seems to operate just fine otherwise with respect to shifting, etc. When the transmission is warmed up my idle fluid level checks at halfway between low and full. Should I remove some fluid? Will that solve it? The transmission is freshly rebuilt. Was something possibly done wrong in the process? Is this a common problem? The car is otherwise pretty close to Lake George ready, but this is driving me bonkers. Any help from the team? Thanks. Keith Boonstra Holland, Michigan where it's still 75 degrees at midnight.
