Default 4+3 issue
My 85 4+3 transmission is pushing ATF thru the TV tube to the top of the engine. Any suggestions to the cause and how to stop it would be appreciated

It may be foaming. Check to make sure it's full. It may also be slipping and overheating. Is the ATF that's coming out bright red or does it look and smell cooked?
