Re: [FWDLK] transmission cable leak

Three types actually. Add in an oil-resistant version which is what is needed here.

There are two type of heat shrink tubing. The better one to get has the glue inside it plus it is thicker than the one used on electronics and you can usually get it from you auto parts store such as Napa. It also is a good idea to apply a second heat shrink tubing on top of the first one, for good measures. Fern

Here's a quick fix that may be long term. Remove all the old cover and slide on shrink tube. Any electronics store should have what you need. I bought a 3' x 1" before. You want the ID to be just slightly bigger than the end fitting on the cable. Slide shrink tube over cable exposing the cable end. Clean the end and apply thin coat of silicon. Slide shrink tube back over the cable end where original ended and shrink it onto the cable with heat gun or hair dryer.

I have not tried as of now. It was my plan to do so. If you try it let us all know how it worked.
