i had my car on a lift this past week inspecting suspension components. i noticed i was leaking some transmission fluid. it was on the crossmember, ect. we traced it to the speedometer cable.
my questions. i got an exploded view of the assembly. i am missing the lower clip furthest from the transmission. i got another one from ford.
i cannot get it to push through. i have tried moving the cable up into the trans and pulling it away. i probably moved it back and forth 1/4" or so each way. maybe a bit more. does this need to be pushed towards the trans as much as possible or pulled back? could the lack of this clip cause a leak?
here is 2 pics. the clip i am missing and my speedo cable assembly. my prong that bolts onto the transmission also faces outwards towards the drivers side trans tunnel. is this correct? it appears to be, as the tab locks over the transmission (its off in pics, just curious).
if anyone has any clear detailed pics of their setup, that would help too. i just cant get the damn clip in..
