anyone got a how-to or give me some tips to do this. ive had the cable in the building for a couple months now and i definately need to get it on now.....it isnt acurate at any speed....before it would level out around 50+
so how to do it? my haynes manual doesnt even mention a speedo cable and my chiltons hasnt shown up yet.
I had to replace the one on my 85 about 5 or 6 years ago. No real tricks that I can remember. I think the hardest part was disconnecting it from the gauge cluster. I think mine broke because the hanger from my h-pipe was putting it on a bind. Something to look at when you're taking it out. I just cut a couple inches off the hanger when I put the h back on.

I don't think you need to remove the H, but in my case that's what caused it to break, yours my be different.Originally Posted by Jared

gotta remove the cluster,you wont have much room to get your hand behind it to disconnect cable... then just disconnect it from tranny, few clips holding it to the frame rail down dr. side cluster will be the hardest part
dont have to take off the h-pipe

looks like im gonna try and do this this week.
is the speedo cable what the speedo gear is attached to as well?
i think i may be ahead to grab another speedo gear just incase.
yes cable goes down to the driver's side of the tranny, it's an 11mm(is on 5spd,may be different size on aod) bolt holding it in, just remove bolt,then pull out whole gear part outta tranny, there will be a little like a c-clip holding the gear on,just pull out, pull off gear,slip on new gear,re-install c-clip put back in tranny

never thought bout that....i was thinking putting the battery in trunk on driver side and leaving bottle there....since the fuel lines already run down that side of car.
