TH400 Speedo Cable Question

Hey all,

I've had this speedo cable hooked up to my speedometer for the longest time and since i switched to a TH400 i haven't been able to find anything to see if it's going to hookup to it

I just went outside nd took some pics of the transmission side of the speedo cable.Is this the right cable or do i have to get another one?

Looking foward to getting my speedometer working again lol sorry not the best pics let me know if you need more







Thanks!

That looks more like the speedometer end.

The threaded transmission-end of the cable is more-or-less standard, so you'll be good with whatever worked before.

Re: TH400 Speedo Cable Question

It's missing a threaded nut that would thread onto a normal th400 speedo gear sleeve.

Worst case, get a new cable for an 85 `bird.

That looks like the end for the speedometer to me, like jmd said you should have a threaded nut for the transmission end.
