Can someone post the locations of the breathers again? I'm not sure it ever made it over from the old board, and I'd like to work on this sometime in the next month or so.

I was just going to use some surgical tubing, but will need to find something that can withstand engine heat.

Thanks.

I extended all of mine and took picture and everything. I'll try and get a write up for you.

Eddo: Thanks!

Eddo,
You extended the tranny breadther too? PLEASE POST how you did that!

I was just noticiing this thread died with the EX board.

As I recall, the rear end breather runs right off the driver's side of the rear diff up to the gas tank area.
The t-case breadther goes ALL the way up to the tranny dipstick.
The tranny breather just sits on top of the tranny (and this is the one that should have been run up highest!)
The front diff runs up under the battery tray.

You can use standard vacuum hosing (5/8 as I recall) to run them longer.
I'd really like to run mine higher, especially the tranny tube, but I've been told you ahve to drop the tranny to get at this one. PLEASE show me this is wrong!

Just checked through the 02 Service Manual and couldn't find any info on the vent hose for the manual transmission.
