Th350 Detent Cable Leak

This week i decided to put an end to this leaky madness.

Th350 detent cable leak. I currently have a leak coming from the cable dripping on front. Some have just a square cut type o ring sometmes they dont fit right. On both of my th350 s i have a rubber sleeve type seal on the cable. It had no sign of front or rear seal leakage so i replaced the filter and pan gasket and then test drove it for several days.

Does it seem pssible that it could be losing that much fluid from this location when the car isn t even running. It seems to leak a bunch of transmission fluid after setting for a period of time.

This boot is typically on th350s 1978 up but may also be found on earlier models. I would say it is about 3 8 tall slides over the plastic part that sticks in the trans.

That makes it really easy to cap. So it s perfectly ok to remove it. Seems to me that the detent cable does. The kickdown cable port on the th350 transmission is a common issue.

In japan especially in the city there are so many traffic lights and stop signs that the kickdown can actually be completely removed. I wouldnt think that the tightly adjusted kickdown would caused it to leak. The plastic cable mounts needs to be removed. Joined mar 21 2000 4 213 posts 13 nov 5 2003.

And it seems to almost completely drain the fluid so much that the car will barely move.
