    Thanks, this is what the end of my speedo cable looks like, can I buy the right end that goes on it or do I have to buy a new cable

    It's upside down, no wonder it leaks... ;)

    The cable is apparently missing the end that fits into the trans, time for new cable...

    As stated, you need a new cable. I have many used cable if I can help you out. Email me DIRECTLY (see below) if I can help.
