im not technically minded on this sort of thing. is this good or bad?
It's a lot of effort for something relatively unimportant that probably won't even be seen, but if Karlsburg built gearbox breathers this one would have their name on it

i see....is there much need for a breather on a gearbox?

Almost all gearboxes do have a vent somewhere. They shouldnt need a catch can though, but it can do no harm.
Depends how badly situated the actual breather outlet on the box is in the first place.

yep, thats what i meant,a need for the catch tank rather than a breather. or is it just a case of i can so i will sort of part?shiney bits always look nice though.

The problem there is internet bullshit.
A catch can IS a breather tank. If it wasnt able to breathe it would be a useless piece of shit.
Much like most of the products under both names on egay.
ok, ill try to clarify what i meant. most gearboxes already have a vent ,or as i previously called it a breather pipe ,as already said. if thats sufficient is there a real need for a breather /catch tank system like pictured at all on a gearbox other than just being a shiny add on that looks good?
Again, it depends how effective the OE breather is.
I know that on my T56, if the breather is left as is, oil will get chucked out. Lengthen and extend upwards by a few inches, and oil never gets chucked out.
