Third Generation Maxima.
I have just recently bought my first Maxima, it is the GXE and a 1990.
My question is: I was looking under the hood and from the top of the transmission cover there is a vacuum hose that is attached to a piece of metal on one end and to the tansmission cover on the other end. This hose is hanging loose and I cannot seem to figure out where it should attach.

Any ideas?

Thank-You

 

I'm pretty sure thats the vent hose...you should leave it hanging!

 

I agree with DA-MAX, it is more than likely the vent hose. Might want to hit a junk yard or used car lot to double check.

 

Thanks guys. I guess it could be that, but I thought hanging open air vent hoses went out years ago.

Thanks for the info.

is it the one that's about a foot long, then has a "U-bend" in the end of it?
if so, then that's the vent hose...

they may have gone out years ago, but our cars weren't made yesterday either.
