TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!


You can go to the Auto Zone or wherever and get a speedometer cable repair kit for about $5.00. Disconnect the housing, pull out the cable, measure out the new one, cut to length, put on end per instructions with the package. Put some graphite, speedometer cable lubricant, or if you're really in a bind, motor oil, slide it back in place, hook up both ends and you're done.

Actually you only have to pull off one end of the cable if you know which end it will come out from. It will only come out from one direction.

You can do this because the cable has not yet completely failed. But, even after it has completely failed, you can buy a complete cable AND housing from the parts shop on this website for something on the order of about $50 or $60. It is a very simple job to replace.

I would keep a VERY CLOSE WATCH on this shop that wants to charge you $250.

Actually forget what I just said, since you're such a nice guy, I'll do this job for you for only $247.00.

BTW, I reread what you wrote. The transmission connection is on the passenger side rear. There is a 10MM wrench size bolt that you remove, then it will pull out.

Good luck,
