    Default leaking from kickdown cable

    having a problem with my auto. its leaking a lot of oil out of the spot where the kickdown cable connects to the auto. i changed it a couple of weeks ago. is there an o-ring that is supposed to go on the cable before i put it in? i never saw one but have read that about the t350s. any help would be good

    should be a bolt (about 10 mm i think) near the kickdown cable when it enters the g-box. then u have to unhook the kickdown cable and take out the O ring ...so yes there is a o ring

    hmmm, i got the bolt on, and the cable on the hook, but cant remember an o-ring. was it in the box, or the plastic holder for the cable? i didnt drop the box, so it was a tight fit to get in there so thats why i may have missed it.

    It's been a while since I've had one apart but I think that the 'O' ring is in a groove in the plastic end of the cable.
