You know darn well its LATER model. My hands are crippled and I don't always catch it. I saw lots of up to 2003 Jeeps that were off road and unless SANK to the top water was not a issue. It was a rural Dodge,Jeep dealer. We had 30 plus techs. Few of them drove Wranglers,Cherokees and there were two driving Comanches. NEVER heard or saw issue with a exposed vent in a 4x4 Jeep of any sort.

Rivet was just having a bit of fun. No harm no foul.
I actually wouldn't mind building an on-board latte machine though. That would make for some cool trail talk.
I hear what you're saying on your experience, but just because you didn't see the issue in your location doesn't mean the issue isn't there. I've been building and wheeling Jeeps and off road junk for a long time. Engines, transmissions, t-cases, axles - I've done them all. Sometimes the factory goofs. In this case, they put the vent in the bellhousing. That was an issue that carried over from the TF999 used in both the CJ7 and YJ Wrangler! In 95% of Jeeps, it's a non-issue - but for the 5% who wheel harder than the rest, well the search tells the tale. Some of the other Jeep goofs are the CJ7 AMC20 rear axle, the Dana 35, vacuum disconnect Dana 30's, rear slip yolk driveshaft in a short wheelbase Jeep, etc....the list goes on.

I have an '01 Wrangler and changed the fluid when we bought it used a year ago with only 24K miles on it. I did drop the pan and changed the filter and then I pulled the line going from the transmission into the cooler (it's the one on the driver's side) and let the transmission pump do its thing. Pumped out 2 quarts then added 2 and kept going till it was clean....about 10 quarts used in total.
