I Need a speedo cable!!! (and have 1 question)
Hey guys,
I am very sorry to post this here but I am at a loss for what else to do. I know this should probably be in the classified section. I believe I have asked everyone on here that has is parting out a car or has parted out a car for the last month and keep getting the same answer. I need a speedo cable for the 83 5spd that is going into my 85 GS. The cable that was on my car was broken, and I still haven't been able to find a replacement. IF YOU HAVE A SPEEDO CABLE SEND ME A PM OR AN EMAIL!!!
As long as I have this thread started I am going to ask if there is any difference among speedo cables during the 1st gens 6 year run. Will I have any trouble finding a cable that will work on an 83 tranny and an 85 gauge cluster? I assume that everything would work fine, but you never know sometimes. Will everything with the speedo cable be compatable between 83 and 85? Thanks guys!

Oh, yeah, there's no functional difference. The 84-85 auto speedo cables were about 4" longer.

I already checked VB. I'm not sure if they ever did offer a speedometer cable for the first gen rx's. In their most recent issue they only list speedo cables for 2nd and 3rd gen rx7s. I know that Mazda discontinued the part number, so that is probably why VB doesn't offer them anymore, if they ever did. I'm not sure about that one....

I know that VB did at least use to carry them. But, I believe they only had the ones from '81-'83 manual and the cable for the autos. I do know that the part number for the speedo cable is different between th '81-'83 and the '84-'85 models. If I remember right, the difference is in the number of teeth on the speedo drive gear. Since your transmission is an '83, I think you need the '81-'83 model. Have you checked local wrecking yards? I had to replace mine in my '84 and nearly all of the ones at the wrecking yard had been cut. I was lucky enough to find one, though.
