hmmm ...

Looks like the breathers for the tranny and tcase came undone when I did my 3" BL in the new rig ... (always forget to loosen something ya know).

I felt around and I just can't see feel where those hoses go. Anyone got a pointer on where to feel so I can get em hooked back up?

Funny thing is, I noticed some watery oil splotches as I was "adjusting" the shifter levers going fwd/rev in the shop ... note I said "watery" ... doh, wonder if that winey trans is in need of oil and not water! I'd checked and the tranny was full (but I may now know full of ...)

Mine didn't come disco'd from the tranny itself, but from the points by the distributor where they actually vent.

You could take a minute to drop the tranny and t-case, and then let us know where it was....

I don't think that helped.

I'm pretty sure that the metal tubes they slide onto lay kinda flat, instead of sticking up.  Kinda like a 90 degree bend out of the top of the boxes.

Sorry to threadjack, but I've got a quick question about building a snorkel. They say you have to connect the breather tubes to the snorkel from the tranny, t-case, and diffs, where do they come out at?

the front diff hose comes up near the charcoal cannister, the tranny/tcase hoses connect together and share a hose coming up behind the engine near the distributor, and the rear diff hose goes to the rear and up into the body.

you could tie the 2 front hoses together and route them to the snorkle, and the rear should be fine (if you're that drowned, the comp probably is too).

No the Samurai has little caps on the diffs. You have to pull them off and attach a hose instead.
