    How many have you broke? When installing it I didn't like the sharp turns and figured it wouldn't last. Broke before the second oil change. Any routing tips?:v6:

    There are two types of speedo cable you can get. One is stiffer, the other is more flexible. When I replaced my original with the more flexible kind, there was a big difference. Lot easier to route and work with the flexible.

    I have been thinking the same thing (sharp bend at T-case) and I know that S-W made a 90 deg coupling that would screw onto T-case and speedo cable screw into it. Wonder if they still avail?

    Good idea. Did some searching and came up w/ this. http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~dyndetail~Z5Z5Z50000050e~Z5Z5Z5AALGZ~P39.95~~~~~~~F
    The question would be would it fit? I think GM had the same square drive so it should. Anyone have experience w/ one?:v6:
