Thanks mongocanfly for the pcv article. That is helpful.

Per that article: "A PCV valve can also stick in a closed position. This allows crankcase pressure and blow-by to build pressure and can damage gaskets and seals."

I'm wondering if I might have dodged a bullet on the tranny only to catch another one with a faulty pcv valve (I have no idea how long it might have been bad).
