I don't think mine is. But the oil box is vented to the air filter.

Trans oil? Engine oil? I don't remember any oil caps having vents, but my autostick is long gone.

The ATF system in the bug is a completely sealed system.
The ATF fluid flows from the ATF tank, through a metal pipe to the hybrid oil/. ATF pump, then up vertically through a pipe from the pump, into a rubber hose, through the engine bay and firewall, to the torque converter bell housing. The hoses are attached to the bell housing on the right (passenger) side of the housing, and the ATF runs through little "ribbed" tunnels in the bell housing seen here:

It runs through the upper tunnel to the torque converter, then back through the lower tunnel to the lower hose connection. From there that hose is connected back to the ATF tank filler neck.
AFAIK it is a complete close-looped system, there are no vents, no valves or anything. The manual specifically states to simply check the level at each oil change and to top off if necessary.

Been awhile but if trans removed are hose conn AT trans easily reversed, if so i don't see it being a problem if reversed ?? Person I'm talking to says (?) he thinks converter is overheating trans oil, building up pressure in sys, &converter starts slipping & out of/low of oil?? I really don't go along with this as i explained stall test (done??) also measure oil temp. Supposed to happen in a few mi,20 or less. Owned & worked on them were all normal. English is poor, hard to understand, maybe not understanding me either.

He pm'd me too, the spring popping out of his seal seems to be the initial cause of all the problems that followed

Hi;

Just saw this posted, I prefer to continue communicating with you over here, this way is a record of my problem, maybe is good for others in the future, also work to translate will be lower for both ....

My next step is to install everything again, measure ATF temperature and pressure to control and identify the problem, will review the regulation of servo rod, likewise will review all ATF lines with compressed air before installing. I will use the best quality of ATF DEXRON available.

I guess to put the new bushing in the converter , the converter was not internal damaged.

The correct way to drive these cars is to use 1 position in slow city traffic and 2 position single road, the idea is to keep the system cool.

I welcome your comments ....and thank you all....

In your pic it's vented thru dipstick tube1st time i saw that style, the way light is reflecting i can't tell how the converter teeth r really shaped. R u installing converter to trans 1st then install eng, u bolt thru large slot on side of trans housing, if u attach converter to eng 1st probably why seal spring got knocked out.
