c6 spedo cable

Post by f26yrn04558-72 »

I bought a spedo cable for a C6 trans 68-72 250 out of a catalog. I recived a cable that has the head that goes on the tranny with the clip and the bolt that holds it on the tranny. When I went to install it, my trans has a threaded end like the end that goes on the spedo head in the cab, but bigger. has any one had this issue? or is it not a c6? the pan has the shape of the c6.

there are two cable ends for the c6. our years of transmissions. have the screw on head like your transmission has. the later dentside era 73-79 has the piece that goes into the trans with a clip to hold it on. they sold you the wrong cable.

some of those catalog places don't know everything they say that they know. as far as getting the right parts.

Would want to sell that other speedo cable because my c6 has that style cable.
