The PO was probably tired of replacing the angle drives. If you route
the cable carefully, there is more than enough of it to run from the
transmission to the speedometer. Make sure you have the OD cable as it
is some longer than the non-OD cable. The angle drive is the weak link
and cause way more problems than they solve.
