Default Kiesler guys/help?

Kiesler guys, have a question. It seems whatever we do to stop fluid from wicking out of the speedo cable it just does not work. Has anyone had this issue and how did you fix it? We even tried o-rings. I love the trans and am not bashing the company in any way shape or form. Just need to see if I am overlooking something?

i know what you mean..after trying the silicone trick on the housing, it failed after a few hundred miles....i had a local speedo shop make a whole new one..works fine no more drips...the leak was at the cable housing where it meets the adapter for the tranny....good luck

I had the same problem. I cleaned the cable housing and adapter with brake cleaner and applied Permatex "Right Stuff" gasket maker to seal the two pieces. Let it dry overnight before driving it. That was 3 years and 30,000 miles ago. No leaks yet.
