you ran over a tire, i hit one in a blazer once.. sits bit higher than the typical 7 you would think, and we didnt drive over it, it just got stuck up under engine bay and slit along smoking and ****

lil ol 7 going over a tire, and only cable messed up, lucky you.. one qestion, how did you manage to mess up the spedo cable in that? mines nowhere near the bottem of the tranny

the speedo cable connects to the bottom rear of the tranny, on the drivers side... and it goes along the bottom of your car up into the engine bay, then in through the firewall..
I can imagine how it gets messed up from the tire, but nothing else? Crazy ? My seven sits so low, it would take off my front end, get caught under my car, and I'd be high centered
