Guest mattrp Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Well, If any of you guys were as unlucky as I and your speedo cable from JTR has a leak at the crimp point between the outer cable and metal screw on portion that goes to the tranny I have a simple fix. Cut 3 inches of fuel house with an inside diameter just wide enough to go around the speedo cable and slice it down the middle. Fill the house with gasket goo. Stick that over the crimped metal portion and the hose, then use fuel line clamps to crush it on there. Once it dries there will be no more leaks, hehehe.

Matt 72 500Z What's leaking out your speedo cable? Their's more going on than a cracked/poor crimp IMO. Unless your tranny is different from what I'm used to, tranny fluid is NOT supposed to come out of the speedo connection if it's all sealed up right. Their's two rubber seals their, one cup type rubber seal and one O-ring. I've also found few tranny shops replace these but if you do get a leak some are more than willing to replace yours free with some interesting chit-chat:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattrp Posted September 10, 2000 Share Posted September 10, 2000 Yeah, I'm pretty sure your right, but I gotta deal with what I have. This fix solved all leaking issues there, so I'm happy. Matt 72 500Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 72 500Z well if it travels up your speedo cable (due to rotation or something similar, happened to one non-mechanic friend on his minivan) and starts dribbling down your dash you won't be so happy, not to rain on your parade but the O-ring/cup ring would be a simple shop install (or should be) or straightforward for yourself if you have a pick to remove the one inner cup one AIR, Oring one is straightforward generally. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
