Th350 detent cable leak.

Ct2827 a new kickdown cable detent boot for the th350 turbo 350 and th350c. So it s perfectly ok to remove it. This week i decided to put an end to this leaky madness. Please check to be sure your kickdown cable uses a boot type seal not an oring.

In japan especially in the city there are so many traffic lights and stop signs that the kickdown can actually be completely removed. A new kickdown cable detent boot for the th350 and th350c. I wouldnt think that the tightly adjusted kickdown would caused it to leak. The kickdown cable port on the th350 transmission is a common issue.

Some have just a square cut type o ring sometmes they dont fit right. 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. Th350 has in fact a detent cable not a throttle valve cable. I am about to replace the cable with a lokar braided cable.

I am working on a 72 c10 with a 307 350 turbo combination. On both of my th350 s i have a rubber sleeve type seal on the cable. Does it seem pssible that it could be losing that much fluid from this location when the car isn t even running. That makes it really easy to cap.

I would say it is about 3 8 tall slides over the plastic part that sticks in the trans. The plastic cable mounts needs to be removed. Seems to me that the detent cable does. And it seems to almost completely drain the fluid so much that the car will barely move.

I currently have a leak coming from the cable dripping on front.
