Pull the cable out, replace the rubber O-ring on the end of it, reinstall. No need to drain the fluid.

the cable should have an O ring seal on it, you won't have to drain the trans to replace. that is if it's a c6, i'm not sure about the fmx
i put some sealer on the Oring when installing just to be sure of no leak. :thup:
