Gearbox Breather Tank – Updated

Due to the changes to the car for 2014, the addition of a gearbox oil cooler means that one of the breather pipes into the gearbox breather tank needs to be removed, because it is now being used as the oil return to the gearbox from the oil cooler matrix.

So a slight change to the breather pipes was made converting one breather outlet from the gearbox to a twin outlet for the pipework back up to the breather tank. The single outlet from the gearbox is the factory breather point.

It all fits pretty neatly and clears the gearshift assembly on top tot the gearbox (just to the right of where the breather hose is hose clipped to the gearbox breather tube):
