engine and drivetrain Getrag 245/4, Loose Valve (?) In The Top?

fjinva · April 22, 2014

Can anyone help me ID the valve on the top, drivers side of my 5-speed overdrive transmission? Obviously, I know little about this transmission, and these are not my pictures (thanks to whomever posted these pics), but the red circles are the part I can not identify. What is this? On my installed and functioning tranny, this piece is loose and simply lifts out. Is this correct or is this a problem?

That is the vent, the cap is supposed to do that (not come completely out but be loose). be careful if you move the transmission around as fluid will leak out of there.

Perfect, thanks. That was easy.
