Suzuki Jimny 'Basic' Breather Kit - Add-On Transfer Box Breather

This is an Add-On to the  'Basic' kit to extend your axle / diff breathers to the highest point possible.

This will add a breather to the transfer box. This requires dropping the transfer box out from under your Jimny, so some may want to wait for maintenance work to do this at the same time. An oil change is required too, as you need to drill and tap the existing breather out...

There is a different / cheaper Add-On Kit to do the gearbox breather which is much easier.
The full kit features all four breathers (both axles, gearbox and transfer box)

Kit Includes -

  • 3m of pf flexible nylon hose (8mm OD / 6m ID)
  • 1x T-Piece
  • 1x Threaded Elbow (to fit into the original breather tube in the transfer box)
  • A Drill Bit to match the tap (supplied in the Basic Breather Kit *used to drill the transfer box breather tube)
  • 10x Tie-Wraps

Fitting Instructions -

First Job... surprise

 

Is to drop the transfer box out from under your Jimny... this is the bit that will put a lot of people off... but it's worth the hassle if you're regularly playing in the mud or fording rivers and streams...
This is the one out of my buggy so ignore the super duty bracket/skid fitted to it, but you can see the breather at the end of that big yellow arrow wink

I'd leave the oil in for now... it's only an extra kilo to bench press out from under the Jimny laugh and will bring any swarf out with it at the end...

Ok... we start by prising off the spring loaded breather cap...

And then we first drill down through the breather tube with the supplied drill bit... that is the right size to prepare the breather for the tap that would have come with the Basic Breather Kit you've previously bought. Then we carefully run the tap intp the widened breather tube...

This drilling and tapping will deposit some swarf into the transfer box... so before refitting it, give it a bit of a shake and then emply the oil out, ready for refilling when it's back under the Jimny... This is also advisable anyway if you've been offroad / wading without "proper" breathers wink

This will leave us with a nicely threaded hole... (Excuse the slightly blurred photo!)

Then we can carefully wind the breather threaded elbow in... yes

Then empty the oil. fit the breather tube into the elbow first (as it's a job to get it in once you've bench-pressed the transfer box back into place!) and then refit the box and refill with nice fresh oil. wink

Then run the breather tube back to the offside chassis rail where your original breather tubes are (from the Basic Kit previously fitted), cut the tube abd place the T-piece in to join the three tube ends together yes Sorted!
