i think the cable is around 130 new from toyota

well it s a 2 piece cable and thats for just the top half

2 piece cable
 

On my 5 speed trannie the cable is a two piece setup. The one that comes out of the tranny is like a foot long and the other connects to that and runs to the speedo. To find out which is bad just disconnect the two and spin the longer one that runs to the speedo and see if its free and you should notice the speedo slightly move(takes two people). Last time mine went bad the longer one failed and it was completely seized.

anyone know how to connect a sppedo cable
 

i have a mkIII right habd drive supra and my speedo cable went. the guys at toyota got a new one but dont know how to connect it i was hoping someone could help me out here. my cars is stock.
