Clutch cable leak ?

Clutch cable leak ?
Got a 99 FXSTC, and the braided metal clutch cable drips a bit.
I've been told this is typical, because the braid doesn't crimp well into
the fitting .....
Other than getting a new cable is there any fix to this ?
I was thinking of some way to seal or coat the bottom 16" (coming out of
the tranny).
Maybe with black shrink fit or something.
Any ideas ?

Clutch cable
That is not recomended cowboy.... NOOOOO not at all. Braided lines are pretty... but a pain in the ****... I have never heard of a way to stop the problem you speak of... but covering the fitting and line in shrink wrap is a no no. (The oil will only make it's way out eventually anyway.) If ya don't want to do the cleanup... change the cable.

Why is it bad to cover in shrink wrap ??
I'm talking about doing the last 10-12" as it goes into the tranny.
The highest water level .....
Ya the cost of the cable isn't much, is this something that can be
done at home, or does it have to go to the shop i.e., need special tools etc...
