Here is a pic of my new speedo cable. This is the tranny end. The boot appears to be on the wrong way. Got this from the bird. Any one else have this issue? I am starting to loose faith in these guys.

Jeff, I am not following you. You dont take it off. You screw the collar onto the speedo drive and then slide the rubber cuff over the collar. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) That pic you have is correct. I have no idea what you had, but the pic is correct.

On that fits snugly over the end that screws to the speedo. The one in the picture fits well over the angle drive connection, but there is no boot for the tube where the cable goes into the tube in the firewall. That would need to be on the cable already, right? |

What you have is the boot that fits over the tube at the firewall, fitted backwards on the cable. What you appear to be missing is the smaller boot that seals at the speedometer angle drive. Sorry for the confusion. |
