plastic TV cable gasket -- where does it go?

I just installed a new TV cable. I have this little plastic gasket that looks like an oblong guitar pick... where does this thing go? I can't for the life of me figure out how it fits in between the cable housing and the tranny. I'm sure someone here has dealt with this before... thanx

Also, should there be any other gasket that goes around the cable housing? I heard there is a rubber grommet that fits in there somewhere... I haven't been able to find one.

Thats the retainer for it to mount to the case. cable goes through the big hole and the mounting bolt through the small one. It mounts on the outside of the trans case.

thanx, but I don't follow... are you referring to the guitar pick-type thing I was talking about? If so, it only has one small, notched hole in it, which looks like it's supposed to fit around the TV cable (the actual metal cable, not the outer housing).
