 That is OEM from the local dealership, the owner was not around so I got to have a easy time of ordering it. The parts person wanted me to buy a universial one, and that was 3 parts the metal inner part, and then the 2 ends...duh and the cost was almost the same, and so why would I do the extra work...duh, undo the old insert the new and done...duh.....

Not bad at all. Is that OEM or an aftermarket cable? And did you buy it from a stealership or somewhere else?

Ok so today my speedo cable snapped. So this leaves you without self cancelling signal lights and worse thing it leaves you with out a fuel gauge. I solved all the issues with using my GPS as a speedo and distance counter.......Thought I had a able in Edmonton, but they were out of stock the parts girl called around for me to see if we could find one but after a 2 hour search I said forget it and will try again in another town on the trip home......

Tom not sure which one your talking about but the ebay site is charging shipping to Canada.....

I will wait till I get home and price it out because both those are over $40.00 when you add the shipping fee in to it.Right no the GPS will get me home

Ratman, the eBay site says $17.09 and free shipping. I don't know about the quality but you won't beat that price pretty sure

If the casing is still good, you can try one of these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Motion-Pro-01-0107-Speedometer-Inner-Wire-Cable-Repair-Kit-50-in-/381505397232?hash=item58d37e61f0:g:9HEAAOSwoudW-uLI&vxp=mtr

I used one and it works great.You may be able to find one locally to save on shipping to Canada.
