Help With Unknown Hose

[Archaeor]

I just purchased a 1989 Comanche Pioneer 4x4, 4.0L, 5-speed.  Today, after driving it around, I noticed this loose hose hanging down underneath the tranny.  I got underneath and ran my hand above the tranny/transfercase and it felt like it comes out of the top of the tranny/transfercase.  I have no idea what it is or where it's supposed to connect.  The end hanging down has a mounting bracket and about 3-4" of aluminum tubing attached.  What is it, and where does it attach? 

 

Thanks,

 

Rick

Transmission breather hose, the breather bracket mounts to the bellhousing.

Thanks! :)  So should the end of the tube point up or down, or sideways?

Up. 

The other end should have a plastic vent valve on it to keep water out.  The plastic tip and hose should stick up inside the engine bay on the firewall.
