Although I am not sure what a "linch round" fitting =
is, there is a flat steel piece that could be described as a Large Hole, =
that fits around the speedo cable housing, and a smaller hole that is =
used to clamp this cable holder to the transmission. It's proper =
position is ON the cable, such that the cable housing is sandwiched =
between this clamp and the transmission. The other hole is used to bolt =
it to the threaded hole in the transmission. This can be reached through =
an access panel on the transmission cover, under the floor mats. It is a =
little tricky putting it on, because of limited space for things like =
fingers and wrenches. Since your clamp is apparently already off your =
cable, there is a neat trick you can use that will make life simpler for =
you. That clamp can be cut through the center of the large hole, leaving =
a "C" shaped section, with a tail having the bolt hole. This =
can more easily be put on the assembled cable and tightened down. It =
might look something like this: o( (connect the edges) An even neater =
trick, which requires a little pre-thought, is to cut that section out =
of the clamp at an angle. The clamp is positioned on the transmission, =
with the slotted hole totally above the cable entry, and held lightly in =
place by the holding screw. This can be done either when the tranny is =
outside the car, or in place. The cable is firmly inserted and seated, =
then the holding screw is loosened, allowing the clamp to fall down into =
the groove in the cable. The holding screw is tightened, and your done. =
To remove the cable, loosen the screw, wiggle the cable then flip the =
cut end up and tighten the holder. Cable comes out, and the holder is =
ready for re-insertion. Neat, Huh? Only trick is to position the holder =
on the tranny, with the cable out, and move it up till a diameter cut =
will clear the cable entry. Mark the particular half-cut you need to =
make, at this angle, then remove it and cut it at the proper angle. Hope =
this helps. Apparently someone replace yours with the clamp off the =
cable.<br>
