Speedometer cable leakage

[cchrishefish]

Ok my 64 Dart GT with the 904 is leaking fluid on the steel speedometer casing through the seams. I want to remove the cable and clean it with brake cleaner to remove all of the transmission fluid. Then, I want to seal it up with something. I am not sure what product works the best, so I am looking for suggestions.

Sounds like you need to reseal the speedo adapter so oil doesn't get into the cable.

What should I use, and does that mean I do not need to seal the cable with something?

No the cable is not oiled just a light coat of grease on the inner cable you need to fix the pinion seal, easy and cheap.

That small seal is inside the spedo gear change it and it wont leak any more.

That's the 66 and newer housing.

Ok, so this is what I will do, remove the entire cable, grease the inner cable, replace the cable seal, and reinstall. Should I also grease the seal and where should I buy the seal?

I would graphite lube the cable itself, not grease.

It looks like the 65 and older seals are just a o ring. @lkopaska
