Well, you don't have info on the year of your Wrangler or the type of transmission, but if it's a Chrysler design, the vent is in the front-pump behind the torque-converter, which is below your fender-line.
You can plug that hole and drill and tap the case for a nipple-fitting so you can route a hose to a breather in the engine-compartment; usually best to do that when you've got the transmission apart for something else (like rebuilding it after you get water in it, I suppose).

I was unsure if a auto tranny had vents or not.
I guess you learn something everyday.. Thanks Bob!

your auto tranny does indeed have a vent.and to add on to bobbarry's input i've also had decent results with tapping the vent hole itself for a small npt 90 degree elbow and just drilled a hole in the bellhousing above it to run the vent tube up thru.only did it that way because trans had not been sunkl yet and was still in good working order.just make sure your elbow doesn't stick out to far and contact the convereter.
