Hi Everyone
Sorry to bring this up again but I have read every thread I could find regarding extending the auto transmission & transfer case breathers, but I can't find them. I have just spent 2 hours buried in the engine bay and crawling underneath, and all I have to show is lots of skin off my forearm.
According to other posters, I should be able to find 2 pipes (a 4mm & an 8mm?) side by side, sticking up on top of the bell housing, accessible from the driver's side of the engine bay. Perhaps my hands & arms aren't small enough but I cannot feel anything that resembles 2 breather pipes.
I have also tried from underneath the right side of the transmission but all I can find is a small black plastic block attached to a bracket, with a small and larger hose attached, but I cannot get my hands far enough above the transmission to track down where they go. The left side appears to be even less accessible than the right.
Is extending these breathers achievable for someone with large hands and arms, or should I give up and take it to an expert? (Time is running out - we leave Friday on our outback trip.) If so, any recommendations for a reliable fitter, preferably on Brisbane's north side?
The diffs are taken care of and this is now the last remaining mod to be done.
Thanks in anticipation.
