BlueStag Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I just had my L6 with a Maxima 4sp autobox out due to a broken flex plate. Grrrr. I think I lots a seal on the speedometer take off. The cable connects to the gear head on the trans with a large bezzle. I can get the bezzle tight, but the cable is loose, and I am losing fluid. The Nissan dealer was useless, of course. Does anyone have a 70s or 80s Nissan trans sitting out of a car, and better yet, also have the cable for the speedo handy? Is there a gasket that looks like a garden hose gasket? Any idea what material it could be made of that would not just melt under the influence of the trans fluid? And if anyone has a Nissan part number, well, I'll be thrilled.

Tony D Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Yes, there is a big black thick O-Ring that goes in there, and then a sealing O-Ring on the carrier that holds the gear (what the cable screws on to) that seals it to the hole in the tranny. O-Rings n Things (they're in the book, I know there is a location in Fontana by the Cal Speedway) will let you browse, big fat o-ring in Nitrile or Viton should run you under a buck! There is an import junkyard nearby there with LOTS of Nissans, you can get one there as well...but the buck entry fee will cost more that ballparking it at OR-n-T...

I'm in Burbank, but I am sure that I can find something that will serve. I mostly wanted to know what SORT of plastic/rubber to use. I'd like to show it to you some time. I have the kick-down solenoid working properly now. I readily outrun Triumph TR6s. What sucks is that I have to put the balley thing up on stands to do anything with it...
