Need "O" Ring
I took the speedometer cable out of my 81 because it had a bad leak there. There is an O ring around the end that goes into the tranny. Does anyone know where I can get this O ring from? I removed the small bolt holding the assy in place and it slid right out so I guess I need a new O ring to keep it sealed. Thanks for any help. Also, is there a larger seal farther inside where the cable goes. I ordered the O ring from NAPA and I got this 3/8 inch wide ring with a small spring around it, but this o ring is not on the assy that came out.

I would think most of the local transmission shops would have one.But here is the fitting plus O-ring that corvette central sells. http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb....Z5Z5Z50000050G
Or at JC Whitney you can buy a whole kit that will full fill all your O-ring needs for a long time. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/B...018151/c-10101
