Anyone else have this problem?? i keep snapping them!! WTF
There is 2 parts to the speedo cable that attach together to form one long cable from the tranny to the dash. the part that breaks is always the part that attaches to the tranny?!

good guess itchy, it was close, i took it off aaron's parts sr5..
i'm going to the junk yard to grab another one..
but this time i'm going to dip and soak the thing in grease LOL

toyotaspeed, that thing is 50$ USD omg.. yeah i rather just go to the junk yard and pick one up.. cause its going to cost next to nothing.. i was going to consider buying it from toyota.. but after hearing the price.. haha i think not.

holy shit! mine too... its a curse... lol how the hell do you get it out of the damned thing tho? i took the speedo cable off the tranny and coudln't pull the thing out, how do they attach and stuff?

lol, dude, you have to unscrew the top too..
and buy the new bottom piece..
its not just the cable you replace.. its the sleeve as well

on the ae92 the speedo cable is 2 pieces... there's a lower (shorter) piece and an upper (longer piece that goes into the car).... we're talking about the shorter one that is about 10" long.... the ae86 might have a diff setup....
