Review on πŸš— Omix-Ada 17208.04 Speedometer Cable - Auto Transmission, Fits 1976-1979 Jeep CJ5/CJ7 by Chris Dildine

Revainrating 4 out of 5

After installation it works fine. The thread on the transfer case is not accurate.

'76 CJ7/360/TH400/Dana 20. My old cable made the speedometer jump from side to side until 55 mph where it finally settled. At less than 50 mph, actual speed was an educated guess. This speedometer cable is a big improvement. I smeared it with graphite and it became smooth as silk. My only concern is that the large end threads (where they attach to the transmission or transfer case) were inaccurate. I would twist about a 3/4 turn, maybe 1 turn, and the threads would bind. It took cutting oil, a vise, and an hour of patience to twist the collar back and forth until it was fully screwed in.
