They do NOT use the same breather.
The T/case has an outlet - but not a breather - Naturally I HIGHLY recommend that you put one on.
The outlet is on the front section of the t/case, passenger side from memory.....It looks like a little bent tube......

Wait.....Oh yeah here's a pic....

Sorry I should have answered the question fully.
The gearbox vent is the little stubby thing just behind the shifter.
Remove the stubber valve & fit your hose.....

i finally did it
let me get this right, the gearbox one was a short little thing about 5mm long that had a brass cap on it?
It was directly behind the shifter, a few centimeters behind, right?


thnaks for your help wooders, i know i can rely on you
a beers on me at the sjc christmas party!

god that little brass cap was a bitch to get off, especially when your a bum like me that didn't bother putting the car on the stands so i could get under there properly - but atleast i took the bashplate off hehehe : )
