Auto gearbox breather hose route

#1 Post by Matt Cotton »

The breather hose is missing on my auto Sprint project. Having never had an auto before, can anyone advise the route the hose takes from the adapter? Does it just cable tie to the dipstick tube?

I've read on some of the Stag forums that the hose passes up by the servo and out through the top of the wing?

Any advice appreciated before I cut a new length to fit.

TIA

It comes upwards into the engine bay, along the OS of the brake servo. It then curls over the top of the servo and hangs down into the gearbox tunnel, ending up a few inches below the servo. Its secured with black tape over the top of the servo.

Spot on. Many thanks for this Reg. I was hoping you would see this as you are the only one I know with a Sprint Auto.
Thanks for braving the cold to get the pics!
