Didn't get a request for the cable for 6 months or so and decided to install the used speedo cable into my racecar (245,000 miles)
Since it was used I taped a baggy with oil in it at the top and hung it up soas to get the oil to drain down into the cable and lube it.
Tore the dash apart at the instrument panel, it has to come all the way off, (all the way!) Then I laid upside down (at the footpedals) and tore apart the rubber flange where the cable penetrates the front firewall, emptied the front trunk, then dis-assemled the front plastic cladding to access the cable for loosening, then went under the car and loosened all the cable attachments up to the tranny.
Then I reversed all the above to install the "new" cable. Whew..maybe 3-4 hours and I know this car like the back of my hand.
It was cool I had a speedometer back again.
For 3 weeks.
Lesson learned: if I had to do it again I'd do it with a rebuilt cable, or a brandly new one. I will not put a used cable in my car(s) again.
Sorry cable not available.
