how hard can it be???!!!
when I bought the car I found the cable lying loose in the engine bay
..now I know why!...there's no where to plug it into!!!

the cable only reaches down to just below turbo level, so its pretty limiting on where its gonna stretch to

oh and theres a threaded hole on the top side of hte gearbox (kinda below the transmission tunnel) which has nothing in it <see pic>......any ideas? (and no, the speedo WONT stretch that far! )



thanks folks

There should be a connection for it on the right hand side of the gearbox, the connection fits into the tube which goes into the gearbox itself. about 4 or 5 inches behind the bell housing

Hope this helps

there doesnt appear to be a tube there!
..looking at the photo on my first post, can you identify where it SHOULD be?

scoobian

you dont imagine the gearbox aint the original.....and doesnt have a speedo take-off do you????...how do I identify the gearbox? (is there a plate on it?)

I think the threaded hole is where the speedo cable tube should fit into - it would stick out about 3 inches from the top of the 'box allowing you to join the speedo cable that you have to it.

from the pic the joining section isn't there...

Trying to find a pic to show better
