Re: Need some help....Speedometer
Are you reusing the one you took off??....is it long enough? not trying to be a wise guy, but it screws in to the back...is the metal threaded housing on the speedo cable?

Re: Need some help....Speedometer
Maybe the inner cable needs to be rotated a bit in order to fit into the square hole in the speedo housing...?

If you haven't already I would disconnect the speedo cable housing from the transmission adapter, connect the cable at the instrument cluster then re-connect the cable at the transmission. That is the easiest way to make sure the internal cable is in place at both ends.... LockDoc
