Push button cables

I had the same problem with my '62 Valiant V8 conversion. And if the cable gets burned on the exhaust pipe at or below a certain level, the cables will leak ATF! (I think you know how I know.) The generally-accepted fix to prevent the leaking (without having to buy a new cable, which is expensive) is to put a length of fuel line over the cable, running all the way from the pushbutton mechanism to the transmission, and clamp it with RTV sealant at both ends.
