Manual Transmision breather

[Grayso Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Grayso]

Hi All,

I have searched all forums yet to no avail have I been able to find a thread on anybody successfully extending their manual transmision breather. I have a Feb 2008 standard Prado with manual transmission. So far I have been able to extend my rear diff, transfercase & front diff breathers succesfully thanks to wealth of information within this forum. My question is has anybody been able to extend their manual transmision breather?

I have located the breather approx. 30cms fwd of the gear stick on the drivers side of the bell housing. It is definaty not accesable though the centre console for my car/model (as described in previous posts), the only way to access it is from underneath and you can only reach it with your fingertips and see it with a torch and mirror. The breather is the same "popet" type as the rear diff however it appears to be a press fit into the housing, not threaded like the rear diff as it has no flats for a spanner.

Has anyone sucessfully removed this breather and if so how & what insert did you use to replace and extend it? Any suggestions would be grately appreciated as it currently has me well and truely stumped.

Thanks Grayso
