Guys,
I have a 2012 JKU Sahara w Auto 5 spd.

Does this new tranny have a breather tube? I was told from some of my Jeep club buddies that the older Autos had big issues with fording water as it could get into the breather tube in the 4 spd Autos.

Looking to find out of there is a breather tube on the new 5 spd autos AND, if there is, is there a way to extend/relocate it etc to make it less vulnerable to water/mud.

Any input?

I haven't looked at the new trans yet ,but I know it's a Mercedes trans and the vent tube looks like a fill tube that runs up the right side of the trans.

Yes they have it. I was going to raise mine since I raised them on my 2011 but the 2012s are pretty high already. If your looking at the engine from the front one is on the left side in plain view..it actually took me awhile to find it but it's right there lol. The other one (can't remember which is TC and which is trans) is on the same side but in the back of the engine a little. They're pretty easy to see. I didn't raise them since they were both in the engine compartment already
