Thanks.

Is this hose open to vent to the atmosphere?

The only hose I can find on mine is connected to something at both ends.

Ok maybe that's another vent I found?

I see the one you circled but neither end of it is open, like I thought it would be.

Thanks for the help

Does it go into the crankcase? Some vent into the crankcase. Can you see the end of the hose?

This may be more accurate and like yours. This is a '04 RK Transmission.
