Mid-way through this thread http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/all-...le-bounce.html I give the diagnostics to deal with a misbehaving speedo, the cable, the driven gear in the trans, etc. Even though mine is a Smiths and TKO, the basic troubleshooting is the same for a SW. It is not a terribly difficult task, and if your cable is broken, your local auto parts store will have one behind the counter. I thought for sure I had the part number for the cable, but I don't. I'm pretty sure though that it's just a straight Ford part. Just take your old one to the store with you. |

I ordered one for a 67' mustang a few weeks ago, picked it up a couple days later. Looks like you might need the same cable |

Paul, Use a Pioneer Automotive ca 3015. 60" long . Remember to lube well before installing.
I use another as well, but only have that name and number at the shop. Will try to remember to look it up for you tomorrow and post for you.

thanks alot guys , will get under there this weekend.p.s. how does it come off at the tremec end ?

Mine is a toploader. Being its the same cable...I had to grab mine with needle nose visegrips & work it out. It was pretty tight in there. It will scar up the cable housing but, since it's a replacement, it shouldn't be an issue. It pushes back in a lot easier. I worked it in by hand.
Obviously you'll find there is a retainer clip with a bolt that needs to be removed before you pull the cable

It's a medium PITA to deal with, just because of its position and, if you have fat, stubby, numb fingertips, it's hard to get it all back in. It's a clip with a bolt that holds it all in to the transmission. Here is a pic of mine. Note the orange Torque Seal on it. I put that on PITA bolts because it makes checking them much easier. It's not necessary though. Remember there's a little plastic driven gear on the other side of the cable inside the transmission. There's a little C-clip that holds it on, but it still invariably falls off and bounces under something in the garage when you remove the cable.:cool:

That reminds me... There is almost no access from underneath, on my car, either. I pull the tunnel to gain access. It's still a PITA, slightly easier though....after removing a few dozen screws.

thanks guys , yeah looks like the drivers seats and tunnel have to come out as my csx has the daytona style back bone chassis so accees is nil from ...this could be the royal PITA!
cheers paul

I've had my tunnel apart so many times I've considered cutting it into seperate pieces to make it easier... Good luck with it, Paul!

Funny you should say that. One of the recommendations I made to Bob P. was to have a trap door on the passenger side of the tunnel that would allow for easy access to the front U-Joint by just removing the passenger side seat. Greasing the front U-Joint, when you have the outboard braked rear with the hand brake installed, is a PITA. You might as well have a trap door on the driver's side as well to get to the stuff on that side of the transmission. |

Absolutely agree. There is just about nothing you can do from the under side of the car, if it's behind the main body of the tranny. |
