Re: [FWDLK] transmission cable leak

Oh, and I also doubled it up as suggested. 

If I recall correctly, I used marine battery cable shrink wrap tubing from NAPA.  Used the red then the black to hide the red part inside.

I was going to suggest that. Someone from here had recommended that to me in the past, and it worked just fine.

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.

Is there a quick fix for a PowerFlite cable leak at the transmission?  Was thinking maybe peel back the cover, coat the housing with silicone, replace the cover and clamp it.  Or should I just bite the bullet and replace the cable?
