Soft-Top
The gearbox breather on the soft-top models is quite easy to find but awkward to get to!
xIf you lie on your back and shuffle under the Jimny from the passenger / nearside and look up into the transmission tunnel you'll spot this very simplistic breather... Yup, it's a plastic dust cap on the end of a short piece of rubber hose...
Squeeze your arm up and remove the cap and the supplied nylon tube will push snugly into this little breather hose...
Bit of a twat of a job, but with plenty of swearing you'll get there!
Then run the breather tube back to the offside chassis rail where your original breather tubes are (from the Basic Kit previously fitted), cut the tube abd place the T-piece in to join the three tube ends together Sorted!
Hard-Top
The hard-top is a bit easier!
Again, one of my Jimnys... Here you can see the breather positions... Where I'm pointing is the same plastic breather cap on the end of a rubber hose like the soft-top but easier to get at... and in the next photo which is a closeup of the right-hand yellow ring...
There's the breather hose coming up from put of the top of the gearbox...
So we simply remove the cap and then run the breather tube back to the offside chassis rail where your original breather tubes are (from the Basic Kit previously fitted), cut the tube abd place the T-piece in to join the three tube ends together Sorted!
