Gearbox breathers was created by X8GGY
Looking in the engine bay of my '55 plate VVT hardtop Jimny today and noticed the gearbox breather clearly visible - a bit easier to see as it has a 2" bodylift -





And there's my finger pointing to the end of the breather hose...

I've read before that the gearbox breather is particularly difficult to get to? But found it on my soft-top poking out of the side of the gearbox -



SO... is the elusive gearbox breather on PRE-VVT hardtop models?? :huh:

My R7ME gearbox (pre VVT M13 gearbox) has the same breather setup as the VVT one. Not hard to join onto the existing pipe but if you wanted to tap a connection right into the box it would be hard work in-situ

Does this mean the gold one has a breather kit now? Only a matter of time before that takes over from S200 KYS :laugh:

The key here is that you have a body lift which makes all the difference.

Here is a pre-VVT hardtop with no body lift. Whilst its visible it is so difficult to get any room to properly access it. As you can see on mine there is still the original owners garden hosepipe.
