Hi Ian,
I've seen this problem on five speed transmissions, but not on four
speeds. I assume you have the breather that looks like a bolt with a
hole in the center. If so, you can drill it and solder a length of steel
tubing and fit a hose or you can buy Guzzis ready-made one - part no.

Hey All,

Anyone ever have to deal with tranny fluid blowing out the breather? I
am
getting intermittent spurts and was wondering if this has been seen by
others. I am kind of thinking that this will settle down after the fluid
goes down a bit (I did put the correct amount in) but I am wondering if
this
breather may need to be fixed or is it just a little hole that vents
pressure? Will keep an eye on it.

Another question.....when I go to straighten the rear wheel...as I
tighten
the spokes to pull the section of rim over do I need to loosen the
corresponding spokes on the other side?

Thanks all...Ian
