anyone else find junk in their transmission after a few dusty roads, or after pressure washing the underside of the drive train? wondering if anyone has ever made a drain to tube to minimize the filling action that the stock vent hole allows...

Go to stickies above to "Transmission for Dummies", on page 22 half way down and you can see how to add a fitting to run a hose to were ever you want to keep crap out of your trans.
The fittings are cover with orange tape. They are 1/8NPT to either 1/4 or 5/16in.
There really is no reason to go larger size hose as it just for air expanding when hot and condensing with it cools down.
Another option is to use a bellows that would allow for the expansion of the air. This would make for a closed system where nothing could get in.
On my own trans I just loop a hose approx. 3-4in higher that top of trans.
