Kendas,

Shouldn't be too hard at all. It's just kinda clamped onto the back of the speedo. The basket is crimped onto the cable housing, but you should be able to simply pull the the cable out from the basket. Be careful not to damage the little plastic end.

Leeann... more on the cables. i know they "should" work as my drill went 44 mph befor we connected them to the tranny.

Then pull the speedo drive from the tranny and check the teeth - I'd be willing to bet you've got some missing teeth. Stupid thing is plastic...

Hey, Mark! Good to see you [emoticon]

Hey lady!! It's great to be. I'm most indebted to you for
many things- you're our "First Lady" of our thread, and for
all the ways you help people in here, you're kinda like our
"Den Mother", in the best sense of the word. Thank you Leeann!!
I really mean it.

If it weren't for you, and some other folks in here, this
would be just another archived thread. You all give it life...
Four years, three hundred pages, and it's still going. There
is more here than a mere thread.

IT'S ALIVE!!!! mwahahahhahah!!!!

(had to throw that in for Halloween... kinda cheesy, I know..)

I'm the wealthiest man in the world.

How so?

All these people here, posting in this thread, are
friends of mine, doing the same thing I am, with an
older RV...

There is a veritable gold mine of information here,
and it grows continually. It covers all aspects of
what we're doing, and even offers quite unique answers
to problems we run into.

There are people who are looking for this information.
Those who come here find more than that. They find a
community unto itself of kindred spirits and brave souls.

This has a life of its own. Even if I were to stop (not any
time soon, though...) it would continue, and be cared for,
by some really wonderful folks here.

Thank you everyone! For everything you do, share and bring to
this little bit of Cyberspace. I owe you all dearly, but
at the same time, I really am the wealthiest man on earth!

your l'il fat buddy

I know... but it was about 45 degrees and dark when we got home last night. Didn't feel like crawling under it after unloading. I'll get to it eventually. I've been using my GPS all summer while looking for cables. A few more days or even weeks isn't going to hurt.

Thanks eyeteeth... I've been checking the speedometer against the laptop GPS and finding it very close, but after driving awhile speeds below about 30 tend to "bounce" a bit (10 or 15 MPH).
