if it don’t blow black...take it back.
1982 300TDT 4 Speed 196K Standard Beige “VEGEWGN”. 300GD FW. Walbro FRC-8 Fuel Pump. ZadaTech LCD Boost, EGT, & Fuel Pressure gauge. Non-EGR Exhaust and Intake Manifold. 3/2 Valves gone. Soon to have Elsbett WVO conversion
1981 300D 314K Midnight Blue “The Blue Car”, Lovecrap system, owned 25 years+
1985 300TD White 198K “Betty White” Pure beauty
The VEGEWGN
It was awkward trying to find the right one. Seems any cable from a 4 speed will work. The top end that connects to the speedo is the same across the board, its just the end that mates with the transmission is different. You can buy them on ebay.

Waiting for it to be shipped to me. Hopefully before the end of the week.
They all seemed to be about 30$ or more. I got a used one pulled from a manual cause I didn't feel like researching part numbers and shit.

08-19-2013, 10:11 PM #5I post a pic soon enough... I did get one on eBay. Still have the auto cable in my car. When I get it I will compare the two. I have a getrag 4 speed in my car but also a slant iron 4 speed in storage. I'll check the fit on both.

If its a question of flat cable end and square hole, this is an easy fix doing that for no cost, the other way around though needs another cable.

I don't know if you have the flat or square cable end for the transmission, but for what its worth, its possible to carefully cut down the flat speedo cable end to fit in the square hole. Ive done this with decent success putting an 84 transmission in an 80 240.
