  • Damaged speedo cable

    Okay while lowering the engine I pulled my speedo cable apart because I forgot to disconnect it, I shoved the metal wire back up the rubber part, but don't know if it is okay.

    If the speedo is broken I can not remove my cluster because of that roll cage, is there any options for electronic speedometers to replace a stock one that are decent priced?

    You don't need to remove the cluster to disconnect the speedo cable!
    A skilled mechanic can do that from under the dash.
    I'm certain there must be a few in your area!

      My hands are too big, I have done that before. I didn't even think about under the dash though, thank you.

          logan, if you need a speedo cable i can bring you one from the car i bought from you, and since i have small enough hands while i'm there i can get the new cable hooked up to the cluster

          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
