If the cable comes loose, can the tranny leak from there?
I haven't taken a look yet, but I noticed my speedometer isn't working. Many years ago the speedo cable was held in place with a big glob of silicon because the head snapped off the bolt holding the cable clip.

I'm thinking the cable may have snapped, though, because I put in a new brake line and decided to zip tie the speedo cable a little further from the exhaust. Maybe I made too tight a bend in the cable bc it was a little long...

 

YES it can leak from there but I doubt its leaking Through the cable,more likely leaking fromwhere the cable inserts into the tranny.Another spot on the older C4's is the vent on the top rightsideof the tranny( I think the right side?).Sometimes if you overfill it or park it at an extreme angle it will leak from there.

 

Thanks. I wasn't thinking of it leaking through the cable, but around it where it was glued in place. Still, I better tap out the busted screw and put the cable in properly, if I don't have to pull the tranny to do it right..

 

Naa you should be able to get to it just jack it up and put it on stands.It will be on the drivers side ,should be easy to get to
