Default Th350 Speedometer Cable Block Off?
Does anyone make anything like this? What did you guys use to block off that hole in the tail shaft?

Dunno, but if I were in a ghetto mood I'd get the old
speedo cable, take the collar and collet off, and crimp
/ solder the collet open end.

The speedometer gear is designed to supply oil to the output shaft bushing.
They make a block off that holds a gear for just that application.
