Can someone tell me what this tube is for? It is located beside the battery shield and has oily gunk on it.

Thanks in advance!

*** it's the tube that says "1B" on the top. You can see that the tube goes into the tranny above the ATF stick.

 

if u could take the airbox out and take a better picture maybe we can help u cuz i cant really see the tube :s

 

There's no need to remove anything.

It is really easy to see and it's probably in your car as well.

 

is it the water dripper thingy from the airbox?

 

ill take a look tomorrow and get back on this one

 

Probably. I don't recall any tube being there, so I'd imagine it's an airbox part.

 

actually, the tube connects into the transmission. I have an automatic so not sure if you manual guys have it too.

 

Ok I could be way off here but I cant look at my car cause its buried in a foot of snow haha, but you say you have an auto, and I personally never looked at an auto RA but I do know that autos have dipsticks for the trans, and its hard to tell in the picture, also dont know where that would be anyway, so its just a guess lol

 

I *think* it might be something to bleed the transmission... Not sure but I'll ask the guy that did my rebuild last week.

 

oh never mind then, i got the manual

 

i've added a better pic to my original post at the top.

 

most likely a vent for the automatic transaxle.
