Part name where you screw in the spedo cable to a C6

Post by gordie4659 »

This should be easy. I just had my C6 rebuilt and I put it back in my 70 F250. From what I understand the part that you connect the speedometer cable is prone to leaking. This is called the speedometer billit or bullet or something. What is the specific name of that part so I can order one from ebay or wherever. I have had trouble with this tranny leaking and I don't want to take any chances. I know that when I removed the spedo cable when I was getting ready to pull it out some tranny fluid came out so I suspect it is leaking. Thanks for your help.

It is called the speedometer gear housing.

If you just had the transmission rebuild they should have replaced the o rings on/In it so it should not leak now if it was.
