Location: Cochrane, Alberta | Trying to remove the cable from my 56 powerflite pushbutton at the tranny so I can pull the engine and tranny out for overhaul. Pulled the tranny pan and popped the pointy end of the spring that goes through the hole out, but I still cant remove this stupid cable. It comes out about 1/4" and then stops. Am I missing something? It is almost like it is hanging up on the o-ring that seals the cable to the tranny, but I have pulled on it with all of my strength and it will not come out.
Suggestions? This stupid cable is frustrating the heck out of me! |

Location: Cochrane, Alberta | Got it out! the O ring was holding it up; I was able to pry it out of its groove and the cable slid right out.
The bad news is I lost the O ring. Anybody know sizing on those O rings? |

Location: Lake Havasu , Arizona | Next time-- notch a V in the end of a flat blade screw driver and insert in thru the top of the neutral switch hole-push in slightly while you pull the cable out. The o'ring can be very hard to find. I took my old ring to a few parts stores, hardware stores and 3 trans. shops before i found the correct size that would hold up in trans. fluid. |
