    Can I change the speedo cable without changing the housing? Pull the old
    cable out and snake a new one in?
    Good time to go after that odometer gear while I'm in there...

    My speedometer quit working accompanied by a puddle of ATF on the
    ground. Figured the cable came loose at the tranny.
    Nope, broke off at the tranny. (what's up with a plastic part connecting
    the cable to the trans?)
    Evidently a transmission mount broke which allowed the back of the trans
    to flop around and whack the speedo cable.

    Yes, if you get an inner the correct length. I remember buying one many
    years ago to fix the speedo cable on my '71 that was longer than needed
    with a crimp on end. Just cut to the correct length, crimp, and you're
    done.

    Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
    (But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.)
