still and again, drive mechanical speedo

[tmoble]

Has anybody come up with a good solution for this? 4L60E, 57 Chevy pickup, really need the speedo to work. Found a gizmo Cable X, but they want near $400 for it. That's as much as I paid for the tranny. Any bright ideas, wisdom, alternatives?

I'm sure you have done some searching and found that there are very few options for anyone running a cable driven speedo. The cable X and a tail shaft conversion are about the only options that I know of for the transmission. The other option is to update the dash to a electronic speedo to run off of the output of your trans controller. There are no cheep options for running a cable speedo with any newer electronic trans, here are a couple of links for you. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q= ... rw&cad=rja , http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q= ...

Dave, Thanks for taking time. Must be a really limited market, or competition for that Cable-X would had showed up by now. Wonder how hard it to make something like that.

lets see...... need 1000RPM at 60MPH and linear
