Question:

does the pcv valve help my transmission shift?

my pcv valve tube is broken in half I replaced it with a rubber hose does it have to be whole

Answer:

The PCV valve is part of the engines emission control system. It controls the evacuation of the crankcase by applying engine vacuum to the crankcase and introducing the vapors drawn off into the engine. If the PCV valve and especially it's hose cracks or breaks, the engine will have a bad vacuum leak. The engine will loose a great deal of power. Many transmissions have a vacuum modulator that adjusts the shift points based upon engine vacuum levels. Normally low vacuum is associated with WOT (Wide Open Throttle) and so the tranny will delay upshifts when WOT is detected. Astrobuf
no, i'm prety sure the pcv valve is to help the engine run smoothly. or something that has to do with the engine, i really dont think that is related to the tramsmission
pcv valve does not hepl transmission inany way it stands for positive crackshaft ventilation pcv valve is for emissions only it does nothing for transmission should be replaced on most cars every 48000 km, i would'nt worry about a pcv valve..
PCV valve has nothing to do with the transmission, it is part of the emissions control system, it recirculates unburnt gasses from the engine back through the combustion chamber to be burnt.
