speedo cable

Postby speedy555 » Tue Mar 09, 2010 9:28 pm

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on the speedo cable front.....
Are auto / manual the same ? Cant seem to find reference anywhere...
Are they available new still (Or same as anything else) and are they expensive....If so Ill guestimate my speed below 30 :lol:
Thanks

Graham Walker or QRG

AFAIK they're the same cable and the gearbox drive gear is different

Auto and manual for a 6 series are not the same - Ford auto box has a different fitting from the manual. I got an auto one from QRG about a year ago, think it was about £20ishif I remember correctly.

you're right, auto is 211918, overdrive is 208767 and the picture on page T9/1 shows totally different end fittings.
