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.

......my response was a bit tongue-in-cheek.
maybe not easy, but possible. On the other hand, has anyone ordered one from the dealer by part number ? 914 641 111 00 |

The cable arrived with the boots in the correct orientation, but after installation the needle fluctuated wildly from 0 to 120, so I replaced it with one of the cheap aftermarket ones with the reversed boots. Hey, at least the speedo works now! |
