- Have you ever bought a replacement speedo drive cable? Same problem. You can't get the pre-assembled cable through the grommet in the firewall without removing the connection from one end. Just how c

- Mike, The trick is to remove the grommet and feed the cable through it, then feed the cable through the hole in the bulkhead - you can then slide the grommet into position, Cheers, Bill. -- Rarebits4

- I probably should have thought to buy a new grommet as well. There was no way my old one was going to let the cable go through it - even off the car (believe me, I tried for a *long* time...). ATB --

- All I can tell you is that I bought a "set" from SixSpares - and they were not only plastic rather than rubber (which, to their credit, they did warn me about), but they were nowhere near a full set!

- I think we are lucky that it is still easy to get those little parts like rubber grommets and plugs. It is a good idea to order a couple of each style in advance, so the next time you have to replace

- I confess, my O/D also started getting flaky last year, and the cause turned out to be a bad crimped connection in my home-made harness. It's really a drag to have to pull the tranny cover just to fi

- Not to bad! What we called a 'sleeve' back then has apparently changed! And a 'temp rating' in the Navy (until permanent) is called 'frocked'. Thus, your sleeve could get frocked! Sorry... how lame.
