I'm using an electronic speedo rather than the mechanical one on the type 9 box but is seems to be leaking gearbox oil.
Should it and should I find a way of sealing it and if so what?
An old cable might be the answer but just cut off so it does nothing. Anyone else had a similar problem
On the first type 9 in my pinto the speedo connection had been removed and filled over with some kind of metal filler.
When i swapped the engine and box the new one still had the connection and leaked slightly. we have tried a couple of things including cutting a new
cable end off and fitting it, and bunging up the cut end. But it still drips every now and then.
I asked same question a few weeks back

I now have an old cable end sealed with epoxy putty, sealed the whole thing to the gearbox with a little gasket silicone (oil resistant) and the
original circlip.
