Civic 2014 pipe cap missing next to transmission fluid guage

Salaam,

|Car: Honda Civic
Model: Rebirth 2014 automatic transmission

Following is a picture of the pipe with a black cap

My mechanic who changed the transmission fluid might have lost this cap and now the pipe is open and facing upwards. I want to understand what is this opening for and whether it is a critical fault. What this cap is called and how can I get it?

UPDATE: I have been googling and it looks like it is called transmission breather cap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwf95fe9Wos

Its not the cap its the whole dip stick missing

Go to the Honda dealership and buy one. And dont let motorcycle mechanics work your car, transmission breather caps have been found on transmissions since the first ever transmission, very sad that your mechanic didnt tell you that its broken or broke off.

This being missing can also be due to the famous service stations in Pakistan doing their “scrubbing” in the engine room.

I have tried looking for it at the Honda dealership. Sadly they only have spares for oil change/ filters etc but not stuff like this. If you have a contact in Lahore who has spares like this then I would be very grateful to you if you can share.

Sir the dip stick gauge is there, it is a small pipe for venting.

For the time being, install a U shaped pipe on it so it faces downwards after going up a bit, it will prevent dirt from getting into the transmission.

For buying this, go to the parts counter and ask them to pull up the parts diagram for the transaxle assembly, and point out the part, they will be able to get it for you.
