Zsane Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I just noticed gear lube leaking from my speedo cable, where it connects to the speedo, what's up? I haven't changed anything, what would cause the lube to climb the cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 The speedo cable is wound the "wrong" way, so that if you have a leak at the tranny end, it will pull the oil out of the tranny right up the cable and dump it on your foot. I bought the seals and resealed mine about 5 years ago, and never had a problem since. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWKDTSN Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Wacky! My tranny drips oil onto the hot X-pipe directly below its end seal, which turns to a rich, full-bodied smoke and enters the cabin by way of the open shift boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David K Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 theres a little o ring in the coupler that screws into the trans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Also, if your tranny is like a TH350 the metal housing that the plastic driven gear runs in will wear out and let fluid leak out into the cable. I just took mine out for that issue and the gear just wobbles inside the housing because it is worn so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsane Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 Jon, That sound like the most probable problem, I'll check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
