Thank you for purchasing the Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) Universal Vent Bladder Kit. Some vehicles, under higher load or higher speed use, may have issues with fluid leaks from the differential and/or transmission vent. This bladder kit has been designed as a solution to those problems. The LPE Universal Vent Bladder Kit is also the perfect solution for vehicles that are required to have a closed differential system by their sanctioning body.
3. Select a location for the bladder on the vehicle that will allow the fluid to be gravity-fed back into the differential or transmission. Mount the bladder (PN: XX04556-0010) to the vehicle where desired. 4. Press the 1/4” to 1/2” hose joiner (PN: WWG4HFL2) into the bladder tube selected in the previous step. Secure the hose joiner to the bladder using a 17.0mm Oetiker clamp (PN:52545K55). Tighten the clamp with a pair of Oeticker clamp pliers (or equivalent). 5.
OPTIONAL STEP: If installing the breather fitting, run a second hose from the bladder to a higher point on the vehicle so that the fluid drains back down to the bladder. Attach the breather fitting to the hose and use an Oetiker clamp to secure them together. WARNING: Be sure to protect the bladder from exposure to hot exhaust components. If needed, install a heat shield between the exhaust and the bladder. Installation of the LPE Universal Vent Bladder Kit is now complete.
3. These CAD illustrations show the location where the bladder should be mounted onto the underside of the Camaro. The part of the frame that will house the bladder is colored red while the bladder is colored gold. 4. Connect the bladder to the differential and reinstall the rear subframe. NOTE: If installing the LPE vent bladder kit on a 2010-2013 Camaro equipped with the LPE 9.5” Differential, a larger inner diameter hose may be required as the latest iteration of the 9.
