Ok so i was looking around under my hood the other day out of pure bordom and i spotted a line with a bolt in the end of it...i dont have a pic as of yet im gooing to try to get one,but heres a brief desciption: its behind the air box and comes up from what appears to possibly go in the direction of the transmission? looking at the engine its on the right hand side directly on the side of the valve cover in the front,there are two other lines right above it that connect together.like i said im going to try to get some pics up of it in a few gimme some ideas to as what it goes to and how it affects my max.
thanks

transmission breather hose...

and for everyones sake...dont use myspace to host pictures for use on here...use photobucket or something similar

 

I'm guessing he meant these:





And as sooner said, it's a trans breather hose.

What does it do? Is there a reason theres a bolt in the end of it??

 

Because someone's an idiot.

 

transmission breather hose

it is a HOSE that lets the TRANSMISSION BREATHE

 

"are you smarter than a fifth grader?"

should i capitalize that too? LOL


This tranny breather hose has been discussed here several times.

 

yeah take the bolt out of there

 

Yeah i realize it lets it breathe,but is there something it attaches to? Im not that car illiterate i do know what "breather" means....whats cause and effect of it being plugged?

 

It's open to air, so it does not attach to anything, just stays open. Your car probably wont blow up if it's plugged, but it's obviously positive pressure, so you can rely on that it wont be sucking debris (crap) in.

 

Cause?

Effect?

You remove the bolt, and don't worry about it.

 

Ok so as far as it being plugged for the past 9 months, would that have affected my transmission in any way?
