ST162 speedo cable	Thu, 19 February 2004 01:19

It would appear the speedo cable on my st162 (manual gearbox) has broken, but I'm having trouble removing it so I can take it to some guys to make a new one. There is no mention of speedo cable removal in the manual I have for the car. Anyone know an easy procedure that doesn't require me taking half the car apart? I can't seem to just pull the speedo cable out because it's broken and I can only get the end bit out. [Report message to a moderator]

That depends......

Which half is broken the top half (into the guage) or the bottom half (into the gearbox).

Bottom bit - about two inches has broken off. I've already got tonnes of the dash out anyway whilst I was doing speaker stuffs. [Report message to a moderator]

Well, two inches of the inner cable has broken off, and I need to replace it. I can get the cable disconnected from the gearbox (it's held on by some kind of threaded male/female connector thing) but I can't get the inner cable out of it's sheath. [Report message to a moderator]
