should there be an o-ring on this (th350 detent)

[1966]

After spending 2hrs removing all the caulking the PO covered the old detent cable with, I unbox my new ATP detent cable (#Y-103) and it seems to me like there should be an o-ring between these plastic ridges. Yes? Box didn't have one... Typing and attaching a photo via phone, hope this works...

I believe mine has an o-ring. I'll go check here in a bit.

Thanks siggy that'd be a huge help to me.

Just look at this SOB, so mad right now:

Okay so I don't have a definitive answer for you, since I'm using a 700r4 now but, I believe what you need is a flat rubber washer that goes on the flat edge where the thing bolts into the transmission. That's what I have.



I would think an o-ring would still go in those grooves, but my detent/TV cable looks different, and doesn't have a long shaft with grooves like yours does.

Apologies for the delayed, and perhaps unhelpful response .

No worries! I really appreciate your efforts!

No problem. Re-posting as I just uploaded the photo.

Yes there is supposed to be an o ring. I just dealt with this same issue on a friends 62 impala
