4R55E Puking Oil

[Diemondrio63]

Here's a Weird one for sure.

What in the world would make my trans puke oil out of the overflow tube on deceleration only! Last night I had to use the wife's corolla after finding that my Xplorer wouldn't move of course thinking that the tranny had gone bad. I drive a 94 mile route every night and last night I was able to track myself because every where I would normally get off the gas and start to brake to stop there would be a trail of trans fluid. The trail would stop after a couple of feet when I'd be pulling away only to do the same thing again before every stop. Now keep in mind that this was when I was in a very mountainess region. It did NOT do it when I was on flat land in which is at the beginning of my 94 mile route. Once I'm off the mountain I have about 10 miles till I get home and there was no fluid on that part of the trip. I don't even know how I made it back home again but sure as anything the trans had no fluid in it this morning when I checked.
Did something stick that made the pressure stay while decelerating?
I need the trans experts here... brooklynbay, glacier, gijoecam, azwack!!!

Vehicle is: 95 Xplorer 4.0 4X4

Did you check the lines going to the cooler? Do you have enough coolant in the radiator?

So far so good.

I blew air thru the lines at the rad and the cooler, didn't seem as though there was a restriction and the radiator is new.
I filled the trans back up and it's fine now. No leaks, slip or shudder and no delays with shifts from drive to reverse.

BB I'm assuming you're thinking that I overheated the trans and I'm thinking the same thing. Basically I (cooked) out the fluid. I know that heat is any transmissions worst enemy so I guess I'll see what happens.

Thanks

Thanks for the update! Lets hope that it was just blown out from overheating, and not from any damage.
