Help With New Speedometer Cable
Ok so I got a 87 5.0 with a Auto AOD, I put a new speedometer cable in it beucase I bought it and it had one out of a 5Spd tranny, I can put the guage itself to a drill and it will read a good constant speed, but in the car it bounces like crazy like +/- 15 mph, the cable is brand new, and the gear on the tranny looks good. Do I need to do something to the cable is it sticking in the case or what??

RE: Help With New Speedometer Cable
The gears on the end of the cable are different for a T-5 and an AOD. The teeth are cut in the opposite direction.
You need the matching gear for the rearend ratio that is for an AOD.
