The cable has three diffrent sections to it and is pretty easy to replace.. Start at the section that goes into the tranny!
i gotta do it too man.. and i dont really know how either. let's meet up and i'm sure we could figure it out. i'm just gonna buy brand new parts as i have none and dont want a used one. i'ts like over $100 i think tho so i'm gonna wait a little bit.
in your face nathen!!! lolthe cable should work how ever, my 86.5 cable worked with my 88 engin/tranny for about 10km then it took a dump, I have been to lazy to figure out where it is broken. its at the end of my fix it list lol. And just my luck I gave away my other cable the week before this happened.
3 pieces, unhook it from the transmission and spin the cable inside, have a friend watch the speedo (it shouldn't move) take that first section by the tranny off the cable and spin the next piece to see if the speedo moves, then remove that piece, then spin the last piece (the long $100 piece) that goes from under the car to the speedo. That should let you know which piece is busted. That's what I did 2 weeks ago and it turned out I only needed the $7 1 foot long piece (I think it lists for like $13 or something)
Don't buy the $100 cable if you don't need it. The short piece at the end only took me like 3 or 4 minutes to swap out. Piece of Cake! good luck!

i replaced ever piece and now i figured that when my long piece was stuck for some reason now i have to replace the whole piece that covers the long cable.....all this trouble makes me wanna get a digital gauge
anyone noticed after replacing the speedo cable behind the gauges that the speedo needle stops fluttering? mine still flutters.... I've changed the speedo itself, and the speedo cable with a brand new one from toyota behind the gauge cluster. only thing left for me to replace is the other 2 pieces that go to the transmission.
Did you replace the speedo with a new unit, or a used one? If it was a used one, was it known to be good before you used it?
i replaced it with a used one. i was told it was good but i guess i have no way of knowing. it wobbles the same way the other one did, so i don't imagine they could be equally defective?
