Ok, i have been in DSM's for awhile now but have never owned an automatic one until recently. Its a 1993 eclipse GSX. I have been driving the car for a couple months now and the transmission shifts great and goes into all gears with ho problem. My problem is when I get into it a little and let off ( build boost and let off the throttle for BOV to activate ) the dipstick pops out of the tranny. it has plenty of fluid ( B&M trickshift ), external fluid cooler and new torque converter. I was just wondering if any of you fellow DSMer's might now whats causing this.

thanks in advance
Travis
 
check your vent tube on the top of trans, looks like a vaccume line from trans that goes no-where.. it could be clogged and thats why the trans is venting through the dipstick to vent
