TV Cable Leaking Bad. How to fix?

I replaced my TV cable. Now it is leaking BAD.Just steadily drips.
The new cable had a small thin seal already on it so I just installed it like that. I have seen two other style seals before that worked awesome.

What did you guys do to seal your cable?

The dealer is no help in looking for a stock seal.

I will try pretty much anything.

I'll assume (yeah yeah I know) that you mean it's leaking around where it goes into the tranny. I had one do this a couple years back. You can either replace the grommet that goes in the tranny or judicious use of RTV. You can get another grommet from any Tranny builder.

I just had the same problem. There are 2 types of grommets a big and small one. Make sure you get the right one. i had to go to a tranny shop to get it.
