cable shift trans question

[swing69]

65 Barracuda with floor shifter / cable op.. 904 trans.

The fluid just pours out of the shifter cable outer cover. the cable needs to be replaced for sure, but should the cable have that much trans fluid pushing against it???

I have two '65's. A Dart and a Coronet. Both have the cable shift transmissions. Both have some seepage but no real drips. Have you replaced the "O" ring on the part of the cable that enters the trans?

I have the same car, 65 with floor shift 904 and apparently yes, there is a lot of fluid behind it. Mine leaked alot. There is an "O" ring that wil leak as well as the cable itself if the outer cover is chewed up. Same goes for the park lock cable as well which sits in it's own cover on the back of the trans.
