MY TURBO 400 LEAKS RIGHT WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE GOES INTO THE TAIL SHAFT.IT LEAKS PRETTY GOOD.DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEIR IS SOME KIND OF SEAL OR SOMETHING TO REPLACE.MAYBE ITS LEAKING AROUND THE THREADS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER SCREWS ON TO?

There is an O ring around the "bullet" that pushes into the tranny. There is also a lip seal inside the bullet that seals against the plastic drive gear. Either, or both of these are likely to leak.

I also had a leaky turbo 400. it has been a few years since I went into vapor lock because I could not completely locate all of the leaks. I did the speedo o rings and and a several attempts at the pan gasket. I threw out a perfectly good chrome pan, thinking it was the cause. I ended up replacing a seal where the shift rod exits the trans. Wha-La that dried it up real nice. the only bummer is that you have to do this from inside. hopefully its only your speedo seals! An easy, fast, and cheap repair.

;DTIP : Make sure the top Vent is not PLUGED ,there is vent ( tube or cap ) on the top back of the Trans. If it is pluged it can cause leakes to and will star at the old and weak spots first.
