Default Breather Kit

I installed the Poison Spyder breather kit over the weekend, but have a question. They sent me enough connections for four different point, but I can only find a breather hose for the front diff, rear diff, transfer case. I have an auto, and if im not mistaken, I thought they had a check valve system internally. If I am wrong, where the heck is the breather tube for the auto?????

It consists of a long piece of rubber hose which runs from the air box to the back of the JK, and has plastic fittings that you place in it to tie into the diffs, trans, and transfer case to enclose the system from having any water enter those locations.

the auto trans breather hose is behind the motor just slighty to the right. Its a bitch to get, you have to reach down behind the motor and free it up to be able to pull gently and bring it up.

Sorry about that. It is not from poison spyder but from river raider. I have to many mods going on to keep them all straight. It is listed under smilin bob's breather kit. Nice name. It works great, and seals off all of the options for water contamination. I thought i would get this completed and then look at a snorkel. To darn cold to crawl under the jk tonight to find the tranny hose.

I just have the stock air box. The main hose hooks into the line coming from the enginer to the airbox, and then runs down the length of the JK. I purchased mine directly from River Raider.
