Re: SCUBA Driver Transmission, Transfer Case, Rear Differential & E-Locker Breather MOD
I conducted the E Locker and diff mods with ease but am having a hard time with the AT transfer case and trans mods. I would like to combine the transfer case and trans breathers into one line going to a spectre filter that sits next to the filter that my diff/E Locker goes to. Any help with locating and doing this would be greatly appreciated!
Re: SCUBA Driver Transmission, Transfer Case, Rear Differential & E-Locker Breather M
I cannot find the AT transfer case and transmission breather on a mar 06 FJ. I have looked from under and in the rear of the engine compartment and still can't find. Not sure how you can do this by feel only? Please help.
If you open the hood and along the passenger side towards the rear of the the top of the engine, you need to reach down inside and feel. You will find (2) breathers right on top, a plastic one (this is the Automatic Transmission Breather) and a small silver cap one like the E-Locker breather. Both of these need to be removed and placed higher inside the engine bay.
I reached down between the firewall and the rear of the engine and squeezed the hose clamp holding the Plastic AT breather on, I slid it downwards out of the way. I then twisted and pulled on the plastic breather, it pulled off pretty easily.

I think I see and feel at least one of the breathers but it feels like the lines are connected and do not move. I have an early 06. Were your breathers attached to the case?
