Transmission breather is where on S10 1998 pickup truck?

The transmission breather on a 1998 S10 pickup truck is typically located on the top or side of the transmission case. However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the transmission type (automatic or manual) and specific options.

To find it, you'll need to:

1. Locate the transmission: This is the large, usually cast-iron or aluminum box behind the engine.

2. Look for a small hose or tube: The breather is often a small tube or hose connected to a small, vented cap or fitting on the transmission case. This hose might lead to a higher point in the engine compartment.

3. Check the top and sides carefully: The breather isn't always easily visible and might be tucked away under some other components.

If you can't easily locate it visually, you might consider consulting a repair manual specific to your 1998 S10's transmission type (e.g., a 4L60E automatic or a manual transmission). A repair manual will provide diagrams and precise locations. You can find these manuals online or at auto parts stores.
