What size o-ring does the shift cable on a 1963 A904 use? |

I cleaned the transmission fluid from the shift cable adjusting wheel area and the cable and tie-wrapped a paper towel around the cable. A week later, the paper towel is still dry and the adjusting wheel and surrounding area is wet. It is definitely the o-ring behind the adjusting wheel. Does anyone know the part number or size o-ring that is used? |

I don't know the size. I just bought an assortment at the auto parts store and picked one that fit. |

I've had to do this a couple of times now. There are a lot of O rings that look like they would fit, only to leak like a sieve when installed. What I ended up doing was buying a #91 O ring and wallowing out the inside just a bit with a fine sanding disk on a Dremel. Keep the Dremel moving and only take off enough rubber to make it barely small enough to slip it into the bore on the transmission case. I have done two transmissions this way and both of them are holding so far. |

I do mean a standing drum. Thanks for catching that error. |

Thanks. I'm going to try that as soon as dry weather returns. |
