| Post subject: | Vitara 1997 Gearbox and T-case breathers! |
Hi could anyone please post a photo of where the stock breathers are on the gearbox and the t case? also are they worth replacing with a barb tail fitting? If so what size barb bail fitting should I get & What size tap do I need to make the hole threaded (I need to buy one so do I buy Imperial or Metric?), also what size hose would I be looking for? Thanks alot, I figured if I am gonna change the gearbox out I might as well put the breathers in there now before I do the diffs as now would be easy access. |

Breathers are already fitted as far as I am aware. They are teed together and the line run up to at least the top of the bell housing and can be easily extended. |

Everything has breathers and hose on it already. Just extend the hoses. No need to drill and tap anything. |

I thought they just had some pressure caps on a spring, what size are the hoses if anyone knows? & will I need an imperial or metric tap & die set to do the diff breathers? |

Have a look under your car. The rear diff breather is easily visible - look for a hose that goes into the top of the diff - it goes into a hard line directly above it and ends up behind one of the taillights with a breather cap Ditto for the front diff breather - it should (most probably don't) end up hanging to the top radiator hose via a clip with a breather cap. On mine the gearbox & transfer breathers are visible from the driver's side of the tunnel - they tee together near the clutch lever and extend maybe 6" after that with a common breather cap. From memory the rear diff breather hose (needs to be extended after a lift) is 8mm. I used auto fluid hose. Maybe check the other hoses for size? A metric tap and die set is IMO an invaluable addition to an automotive tool kit but isn't needed for this job. |
