I solved the leaking speedometer gear leak on the transmissions. If you take the housing out of the tranny, and remove the pinion gear and shaft, there is a O ring in the housing. Pop it out with a dental pick, and size it up at the parts store. I installed the new O ring in less than a minute. One less leak to worry about.

Ok thanks for info !
I dont see a need to drain the tranny. Just run the engine for a few minutes, just in case the tranny has internal leakage (good call David). Have a catch pan ready, just in case.
Hello, I sometimes lose my oil Turbo Hydramatic TH-400 transmission. Also known as the small O-ring that is in question. I would like to place a new O-ring, is work hard, should we drain the transmission oil? Thank you for your
This is a fix you can do on the 63 Hydra-Matic without loosing fluid. Unless all the fluid is in the bottom of the transmission from internal leakage. The shift linkage O-rings are another source for external leakage. Unfortunately, you have to drop the pan to get at those.
Good Post Russ, The spedometer drive was a pesky leak I eliminated on my 63's transmission, also.
Good information. I put a link to this thread on the Help Topics Page.
Tony, the fix is for the Hydra-Matic tranny. Should be the same for the Turbo. I pulled the piece out of my parts transmission, so I dont know if the tranny will leak when pulled.
Russ
which trans does your fix apply to ?
i think your 63 has a hydromatic
did you have any issue with trans fluid leaking out during the repair ?`

I need to replace the bulbs for the speedometer cluster in my instrument panel..
Before I open up the dash, I want to have the necessary bulbs on hand.
Can someone help me determine what bulbs I need, the number of bulbs I need, and where to purchase them?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

The temperature gauge of my 63 Eldorado does not work properly.
It goes slowly all the way up and stays there, while the true temperature is around 155-160 F (water in the radiator and/or the top of the thermostat housing).
Where should I start to solve the problem? The gauge itself, the temperature sensor, or the wiring? Or something else? The sensor is a new (aftermarket part)…
