follow up. Addition of the fat clutch push rod (factory installed primary vent installed prior to purchase) the issue is gone. 1500 to 2000 miles mostly over the speed limit, and tranny dip stick reading has not moved.
Im calling it normal at this point especially compared to the drastic drops it was doing.

So glad I never had this issue with the factory installed vent, not even a little bit of transfer.

Maybe I should try the fatrod on mine and the wife's 20's that both transfer with me factory installed vent.
