<VV> powerglide leak

[kovacsmj]

 I just repaired mine using that method. My modification: I also had to
cut the rubber cover back to remove the split part first, then clean the
heck out of the exposed metal sheath (brake cleaner) and epoxy the area
that the rubber covering would not cover any more. 

 The split rubber hose went over it. I used some RTV to close the split
in the hose.

Getting all the information is most of the solution.

..........The easy explanation for the PG cable fix works if the cable
housing is 
cracked. This usually happens near where the cable goes into the trans.
You  get a 
piece of gas line with an inside diameter about the same as the OD of
the  
cable. Slice the hose so that you can put it over the damaged area of
the cable. 
 Place the hose so that the slice is away from the crack in the cable
and 
Secure it with some hose clamps...........
