I'm working on getting the car out again this season after sitting for some time. I've had a long-standing issue with leakage coming from the shift adjust cable. Is this a common problem? Does anyone manufacture a replacement cable? Thanks in advance for your help. Tommy

I got mine from Imperial Services http://www.imperialservices.net/Bparts.html But it took several months and the threat of mail fraud to get it delivered. The new cable solved the problem. I think the quality of the Imperial Services stuff is very good. Again, if you can get them to deliver. Be very cautious. If you know someone in Michigan maybe you can get them to go to Imperial and pick one up for you??

It will take a couple of days for the RTV to cure inside there, so allow for that. If you put that tube up so that it is up there compared to the level in the tranny, that would be good. I have done this 6-8 times, works every time.

I found a hose with the center larger then the cables diameter and used RTV and slit hose to get it around the housing after it cured no leaks. 2003 Dodge 3500 Diesel 1964 Plymouth Savoy White 2dr sdn. 512 stroked, Dominator, New Best 9.75 @ 138.50mph 2019 Challenger Scat Pack 1320 White Knuckle-K&N Cold air filter, Billit Oil catch can, drag radials stock 11.911 @ 114mph

The only lube inside the cable housing should be the cable core grease. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway

I have found the park cable housing is often warped. Some elbow grease with a stone will fix that leak. John has shown the repair for the speedo adapter. There is no need for RTV. Doug

Ozy, I have no idea how to post pics now that the forum has changed. Our '63 is a N/SS car called "FRUSTRATION". Send me a PM with an email and i'll send all you can handle. Thanks again to all.

Steve Charette who now owns Imperial Services still has $410 of my customers money for over one year, doesn't answer the phone, and will only BS you into sending him money. He's a dirtbag and a thief! Still waiting on 'parts' to finish a ratio adapter.... one of my fav quotes from this idiot was... 'How can I finish your part when I have to talk to you on the phone?' He's a real jerk.

I got a call from Imperial Services, his wife telling me they were waiting on parts and should be done in 4-5 weeks. She left him as well, so now he blames her because he has to answer the phone.

If the cable housing do as suggested, if it is the O ring replace it Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

I will plan to replace the O-ring as well. I really appreciate all the help I receive on this site. I don't get to say thanks enough to all...Thanks to all!!! Tommy
