There are o-rings on the cable as well. Make sure they are still good. Can't remember if both ends have them. My cable had bad ones and over s period of time it started puking gear oil up behind the dash. Small amounts, but then again, it doesn't take much to start stinking bad. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />
