breather install

[Mattstruck]

Anyone done a MN auto yet?

Im is thinking shes moves to a different beat

[MN GLXR]

I am waiting to see an MN Auto too. Otherwise there might be an unused kit up for sale.

[Mattstruck]

Same here!

Have had a good look and posted photos for some help but so far no good

Someone must have done it already, for sure

Would be helpful if you can look at the manual gearbox as well. I could only find one breather fwd of the gearlevers. Assume it is for the gearbox. Couldn't find one for the transfer.
We assumed that the auto does not have a breather as it is open to atmosphere throught the dipstick

[TUFF TROOP]

yeah can do , im actually rebuilding a manual box atm from a ml triton , and also pulling a mn 5 speed apart tomoro! so ill even try get some pics if i can and post em up for yas!

Legend! Probally uses dip stick as breather is my guess. Dont suppose you would know about the MN transfer and front diff would ya

[TUFF TROOP]

um the mn box lost 3rd gear, on downchange and expecting the synchro is buggered or the slides or somthing isnt quite right .. and the ml has a internal problem with the shift lock out , can shift from 5th to reverse, which is real bad haha..

ill get some info and hopfully pics for yas tomorow or tuesday,

this is the ml box.. the big hole you can see on the left is where the gear sticks bolt. so through your hole in the floor you can see the one way valve/breather and the vac hose that goes to the gearboot.. i suggest extending both of them as the ml box had water in it when i pulled it down... also a nice leak as you can see

[TUFF TROOP]

thank buddy . hope this helps some people. sorry for the pics, was in a hurry to rebuild both boxes and get em back in the cars today

[ag9111]

Was the one way valve tapped into the gearbox or was it jammed in like the diff breather on the MN diff

[TUFF TROOP]

jammed in from what i could see mate, i didnt have a go at ripping it out, but ive got another box to do next week so i can have a close look then if you like?

[ag9111]

Yes please. Wont worry me if you have to damage it for the greater good of the forum.

Anyone know anything about Breathers on a 2006 MK GLX Turbo Diesel manual Titon. The last of the old shape. The rear diff appears exactly the same but the front just has sopme sort of cap for a breather. I don't know about the gearbox etc as I have not lifted the centre cover as yet.

[dan.batto]

So in doing my breather install now on an ml manual. This is what I got under the gear levers,

Am I right in saying the pipe on the right that goes into the 4wd shifter is what I should be venting for gearbox and slip another into the boot for transfer?
