I just got myself a replacement gearbox as mine went tits up recently lol. Basically there is a lil black box thing on top of the gearbox, and i took the top of and there is like a tube/hole.. cant see down it because its dark inside lol. Reason i wonder what it is, is because ive not got it on my gearbox (and yes its the same box lol) What is it? Breather?

If its a little tube.. its the breather/spill pipe |

 i know tell me about it!!! thats why ive asked.It goes to the actual inside of the gearbox casing. In the pic u can see like a metal shaft - which is the input shaft, and when u turn the input shaft by hand, u can see it moving on the inside. Im gussing its either a filler, or breather. Haynes manual says nothing about it though lol. |

I just had a look on microcat on my pc.. aparently its a air vent. I looked at mine and twisted it around, and with a bit of force it reckon it would come out lol. First time i have ever seen that though! As you can see, its highlighting number 19.
