So, what did they tell you when you asked for the "thingamajiggy"? :D

They told him they were tired of his consistent flirting.

that's a dipstick tube seal.

On the 700R4 the dipstick tube seal and the detent cable grommet are ALMOST identical...but not quite. If I remember right the dipstick tube seal is just a bit smaller than the detent cable grommet.

It looks very similar to the seal thingy that went between the kickdown cable and the transmission on my TH350. It was about a 1/4 inch in diameter. It looks like the one on the dipstick, but much smaller.

I had a similar problem when I tried to get one for my cable at O'Reilly. Mine was missing, and I had never seen one. The guy at O'Reilly had not either. My book said there was supposed to be something there. I felt like an idiot asking for it. It was like the blind leading the blind!

My turbo-400 leaks through a weep hole in the slip yoke. It's very mysterious. I guess when I lower it 4/6, I'll check the length again and plug up that hole. Any one else have a 400 leaking through the yoke?

Yes, I had that problem with my TH350. Swervin has the solution on his site:

I was reading the link to swervin's site and I have a question.
I never thought about this much before, but now Im starting to wonder. I have replaced my clutch a few times and removed my trans even more times. I never marked where the driveshaft was. I just took it off and put it back on. Never seemed to have a vibration or out of balance problem. I thought that when a driveshaft was balanced its balanced out of the truck (vehicle), so it wouldnt matter how you put it back in. Is this right? Is there something Im missing. I will be doing a clutch probly within the next few months, so this has me thinking :)

It's not so much of a problem just removing the driveshaft and putting it back in. It's when you are replacing the U-Joints is when you don't want to lose the alignment of the yoke to the drive shaft.
