tazer15 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 I need a 2wd 4.0 auto speedo cable it's an 88 so whatever works.A member tried to help me on this awhile back but the clip was broke and wouldn't stay on the speedometer.Need this ASAP my sons leaving for college and his speedos not working need to get it goin.Thanks please email me so I don't miss any replys tj15w@yahoo.com
mvusse Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 A 4wd speedo cable would work also, it is just a little longer. To fit an 88 correctly I believe it would have to come from 88-90.
jimoshel Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Every 86-'90 speedo cable I've seen the plastic clip was broke. Old and brittle plastic. I locate the cable into the speedo head as usual, and then being careful it doesn't come back out i replace the instrument panel back in the dash. Then working under the hood I push the cable firmly towards the speedo, making sure it's still seated. I then secure the cable so it won't come back out. Usually it will stay by it's self but sometimes the grommet in the firewall is loose enough it lost it's gripping power. A wedge along side the cable pushed into the hole or a clamp around the cable housing attached to the firewall will hold it.

Ditto this plus I used a standard hose clamp (around the POS plastic connector) at the back of the speedo....
jimoshel Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I tried that. My hams,,er,,hands are just to dern big to get back there and do anything.
Keyav8r Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Jackson & Sons Jeep - Talladega, AL NOS parts, reasonably priced. Google him and call. Don't know if he has an e-mail address listed. I usually just go by there when I'm making sales calls in the area.
