    there are speedo cable repair kits..go to a kragen or any parts store and get one. I had to use the stock end piece in the trans and attach it to the cable, but other then that its normal just like the directions on the box.

    to use the end piece i used a die grinder and cut a tiny slit so i could get the old piece of cable out of the end, then slid the new cable in and crushed the end piece on to the new cable..easy

    like the cable and houseing that it rides in is missing, or the cable inside the houseing is gone..
    if the whole thing is gone that might require a junkyard trip, but almost any toyota pickup speedo cable will do then.
