First I would like to say Thanks to all the members. I just recently found this site and there is tons of great information.
My question is; I am replacing the transmission in my son's 1995 Ranger 4.0, 4x4, with the 4R55E. I am replacing the trans and transfer case as one unit. The assembly coming out of the truck has a hose from the metal vent tube, that connects at the top of the trans with a rubber hose, goes into a long, thin metal tube that comes down by the shift linkage, then it has a rubber hose connected to the end of it going to the vent on the transfer case. It looks like this hose is approx 5/16 or 3/8. Is this correct? The assembly that I am getting ready to install does not have anything between the metal tube and the transfer case, and I want to make sure I connect this right, since these transmissions have enough trouble on their own.
I know on some vehicles transmissions and transfer cases vent thru a valve in the rubber hose, and not to each other. Also, these may not be vents at all and it is not connected properly.
Thanks in advance for your help!!
