My speedometer and odometer has stopped working. I've been told it could be a sensor or the cluster or a cable. I don't want to have to spend $300 just to find out what the problem is. Can you advise me.

thanks,
mike

The speedo cable goes into a small adapter on the top of the trans on the passenger side (you can see it from under the hood). If you un screw the adapter you will find a small tab is broken off because the adapter is seized. Make sure you get the broken part out and sometimes the rubber seal and a washer stick in there also. When you install the new adapter it only need to be hand tight
