The vent is on the drivers side at the top of the transmission. I can just barely get hands up to it right next to the catalytic converter and forward driveshaft. I first tried to get the cap off by using a flathead screwdriver. I got the tip under the edge and pried on it which was not very effective. I then got a screw driver and tapped on it with a hammer and the entire vent popped out. It is only held in with some friction grooves so I thought that might happen. Pictures are attached of the cap and vent. I had to use an angle grinder to remove the cap.

With hose clamp, the hose held completely tight and sealed on the vent top. I attempted to install the vent top with the hose connected but it was way to tight. I was able to push the vent back into the transmission hole with some removable loctite and it felt quite snug just pushing it in by hand. I will check on the tightness tomorrow to see if it is solid. I was able to get the hose over the now installed vent and hose clamped but realized that no matter which way the hose is routed, the 1/2" hose will kink. There are 2 fuel or coolant lines and 1 unknown line that sits right above the vent and is a pain in the ass. Tomorrow, I am getting a 90 degree barb adapter for the 1/2" hose to see if I can clear all the lines above the vent. I will update once I figure this out. [ATTACH=full]464852[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
