Transfer Case Breather

[Foureigner]

During some research on the extension of the rear differential breather, I came across alot of questions on a (possible) transfer case breather (without extension), but could not find any answers.

This afternoon I made some effort and found the breather, which looks the same as the one on the rear diff (also not extended); see picture.
Anybody experience with extending this breather? how long should the hose be to run it upto the engine compartment (next to the front diff extension)?

During my search I encountered a small hose that was worn and needs replacement (ductaped a for now). According to the repair manual it is a so-called breather hose that runs between the transmission side and transfer side. Anybody a recommendation what material to use for replacement? (size, length)?
What is the function of this breather hose?

Thanks in advance,

Sieb

Transfercase breather

Just to be complete, I have a:

2.7L, 4WD, Manual, Canadian Base Model, from 2002.

Although I am not sure about the year looking at the 2.7L, which I have not found any info on.

Thanks.

Breather Hose

Sorry, third time......... one of my first posts here...so on a learning curve.

I have attached to file of the so-called breather hose from the repair manual; so you see where I am talking about.

Thanks

Transfer case breather update

As it seems the hose functions as a breather for the transmission side through the transfer breather.

The hose was torn and I found the hose of kind of an inferieur material, if you think it needs to function as a breather and keep water and dirt out of the transmission and transfer case. It does not have a clamps, but just sits on the two nipples.

I replaced it with a much thicker and stronger hose and used clamps to secure. I think it is worthwhile checking.

See attached pictures.

I am still wondering if anybody has extended this transfer breather?


Thanks,

Sieb

I think FJ owner did an amazing and clean job. I like the idea of using a two way breather and putting it where it won't get wet.

I have bookmarked that writeup, thanks for the link.
