Th350 Detent Cable Leak

The plastic cable mounts needs to be removed.

Th350 detent cable leak.

I wouldnt think that the tightly adjusted kickdown would caused it to leak. It seems to leak a bunch of transmission fluid after setting for a period of time. Does it seem pssible that it could be losing that much fluid from this location when the car isn t even running. And it seems to almost completely drain the fluid so much that the car will barely move.

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. This boot is typically on th350s 1978 up but may also be found on earlier models. I am working on a 72 c10 with a 307 350 turbo combination.

Seems to me that the detent cable does. That makes it really easy to cap. This boot is typically on th350s 1978 up but may also be found on earlier models. I am about to replace the cable with a lokar braided cable.

I have a mildly built th350 that seems to leak from the detent cable fitting when it sits overnight. Please check to be sure your kickdown cable uses a boot type seal not an oring. Detent boot seal th350 transmission for passing gear kickdown cable. Ct2827 a new kickdown cable detent boot for the th350 turbo 350 and th350c.

Please check to be sure your kickdown cable uses a boot type seal not an oring. On both of my th350 s i have a rubber sleeve type seal on the cable. Some have just a square cut type o ring sometmes they dont fit right. The kickdown cable port on the th350 transmission is a common issue.
