I have an 86 K5 with the 700R4 transmission that all of a sudden developed a leak from the transmission. At first I thought it was the seal between the trans and t-case..but upon further looking into I noticed its coming from the detent mount. I tried to tighten that nut a tad more but is still leaks. My question is..is there an o-ring seal or a rubber 'boot' thats used in the detent mount? Do they sell that o-ring/rubber boot separately or do I need to track down a new detent cable? Would any parts house (autozone, oreillies, etc) carry either the cable or o ring/boot??? Thanks!!!

 

i just put the detent cable on my 700r4 i'm useing for my v8 swap and it seemed to have a intergrated seal on it. Dont crank down on that 1 little bolt too much, you'll be sorry lol.

 

haha so ive already been warned lol! Integrated seal on the detent? Really? wow I went to autozone to look for a rubber boot/o ring and the detent cable they showed me didnt appear to have any kind of seal with it. Just a the plastic housing that the bolt goes through..hmm. I guess Ill see whats in there lol.

 

ive played with a few. some has a oring,most has a lil cup seal thing. Kinda wierd you having a leak there. Id pull the tube,give it a coat of silicone and stab her back in.

 

well, i also should mention mine isnt the stock one. The trans i bought didnt come with it so i bought one from summit.
