Does anyone know what this tube is? It goes down in-between the transmission and bird cage. See the pic.




Thanks, in advance.

You should hook up the open tube to the fitting on the rear of the intake manifold with a rubber hose.

That is the shifter fluid fill tube. That is where you put in the shifter fluid. Take your time and you will get it. Make sure to put a vacuum cap over it when done to keep the fluid in.

THIS IS JUST A JOKE. EVERYONE ELSE ABOVE IS RIGHT. DO NOT LISTEN TO ME AND ATTEMPT TO PUT FLUID IN THE TUBE!!!!!
