Quite some time ago, I was rushing to get to the airport and my 700R4 dumped all of its tranny fluid. I rolled into a shop that filled it back up and sent me on my way. I made it about a half mile before it dumped it again. I was about 2 or 3 miles from home. I had to make my flight, so I grabbed my bag and ran in my brand new cowboy boots (yeah, I had blisters). Anyway, I went out of town and had it towed to a shop to be fixed. The guy said that is was some sort of cap that blows off of the 700R4s all of the time. I can't remember exactly what it is called. That is the reason for this post. I am dumping fluid again, and that seems like a logical place to start looking. Does anyone know what this cap is and better yet, have a picture? Also, a good way to fix it so I don't blow it off and dump my fluid anymore?
