88 automatic gear indicator January 21, 2013, 11:32:28 AM my cable broke from the column to the orange box that outlines the gear you are in It's a very small diameter cable with crimps at each end. Does anyone have access to either the original part or just a small (1/16" dia) cable?Dave Graydavegray50@aol.com Quote Selected
88 automatic gear indicator Reply #1 – January 21, 2013, 12:23:41 PM I'd like to find one, too. I busted mine when I pulled my cluster to do the speedo unlock mod. I've been living with it, but at some point, I'd like it to work again. Quote Selected

88 automatic gear indicator Reply #3 – January 21, 2013, 01:50:12 PM here is what i did to the "coug"You closely examine how the old cable works.get your spider wire out and make a new one.simple as that. the spring on the end up at the instrument cluster will pull up the slack and would work idential to oem.the oem cable is sorta like thread anyway.Spider wire is pretty common around peoples homes or even heavy duty upholstry thread would work.
