Speedometer connection
Can this plastic locking tab be replaced? This is how I found mine when I removed the gauge cluster. Will the whole thing need to be swapped?

Good question...I've never had to try. I would think that a speedo shop could do it ,but the cables themselves aren't hard to replace (or that expensive).
Anyone else have an idea or ever tried it?

If I have the dash out I usualaly replace them anyway. nos ones are not to hard to find and it sucks to have to tear it apart again. I say if it is apart go ahead and replace it. .02

The speedo worked. I didn't do this damage that I know of. It just came loose real easily. It was after I got it apart that I saw this.

Entire cable....$30 or so last time I bought one. Speedo shop was a reference to the crimping on the cable end.
