Well it is a small case and under hard acceleration it could just slosh back to where the breather is . It wasnt really designed to be a high performance transmission. The powerglides are known for puking too and many race tracks require a puke tank be used with them. Perhaps having a puke tank on a severe duty c4 would be a good idea.

I had the same problem in a hard right corner.

The spilled fluid directly hit my exhaust causing a lot of smoke. (upsetting the fire guards on the track)

I solved the problem by installing an overspill canister.





Make sure to make a vent hole in the top of this canister, so the gearbox can still breath.

Good luck!!!
