transmission is leaking at the speedo cable. anybody know where to get parts?
or any ideas from stopping the leak.

There is an o-ring in the center of the speedometer drive that should be replaced. It is NLA from BMW, so you will need to source it separately. The bolt that holds the speedo cable in place needs to be completely removed; then the drive can be extracted by pulling (I inserted a needlenose pliers, extended it outward and it pulled right out).

There is an o-ring and a seal.

Replace it with a 5 speed,this should clear up the leak+make it way more fun to drive
