Re: Can't find manual gearbox breather

What sort of tubing have you used btw? I have used bunning clear plastic tubing for my breathers so far, its cheap, but its not the strongest or heat resistant... I expect they will have it in a 25mm or near enough size

Re: Can't find manual gearbox breather

Ok. I have popped off the passenger side one (drivers side one is bloody hard to get at with pliers at the right angle and if I am sure about what im goign to ask next then I might just dremel it off).<br/><br/>So they are spring loaded. I put my finger in the hole and it appears that it doesn't ...
