t5 replacement cutch. mystery pipe

so i pulled my t5 this afternoon as clutch is no good

thought i had disconnected everything but when i removed the trans from the bellhousing there is a black pipe on top of the trans

is this a breather pipe, where does it go ?

Re: t5 replacement cutch. mystery pipe

There is a small breather on top of the T5. Every one I've seen has been a little stub maybe only a few inches in length. The bell housing bolts you can get to with some extensions. You might have to use a u joint or the extensions that allow the socket to rock slightly.
