The 4 speed has a breather, too, as does the AT. On the MT it is a 
~1/8" hole facing forward in the very top of the nose cone. 

I suspect that EVERY transmission has a breather so that there is 
never any differential pressue between the inside and the outside. 
Otherwise normal changes in temp, both operating and ambient, and 
barometric pressure would make life hard for the seals.
