Zenobian_84 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Going to be swapping over to a non-idiot cluster this weekend and have all the parts and whatnot ready to do the swap. I've heard that disconnecting the Speedo-cable from the transmission will give it some slack so it's easier to fiddle with inside the dash. My question is that I found 3 "plugs" on the passenger side of the transmission housing, 2 of which plug directly into it, and one is sitting next to it. The one sitting next to it connects to another plug and is 3 inches long. Am I correct in guessing that the 3 in. long plug is what connects the speedometer to the tranny? I'd take pictures for you guys but it's getting dark down here and my phone takes crappy pictures when I'm under the truck. :headpop: If I have to take pics, I'll take em tomorrow morning.

Boots Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 On mine, I just stretch it as much as I can and then stuff it through the fire wall and there is enough to get it unhooked. As far as unhooking it underneath, It should just unscrew from the T-case. At least that is how mine is. Not sure about the "plugs" your talking about... :???: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 The speedo cable screws into the transfer case on the drivers side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was on the passenger side, but I was wrong. Guess I'll figure out what those other plugs are another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMCJeepMJ Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Its easy to find on the drivers' side of the TC. It takes a 1" wrench to remove... just disconnected one last week on my 86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
