Default TKO 500 speedo cable question???
I have finally gotten around to installing my TKO 500 I got from Keisler, I have one issue, the speedo cable is too short, by about 4 to 6 inches at least no matter how I wire it. Anyone else have this issue, do they make a longer one for this trans? Ill be calling Keisler on monday but was wondering if anyone has had this issue?

The package I got from Keisler was perfect. The spedo cable was the correct size for my '79.

I have the same kit also from Keisler no problems you must not be routing the cable correctly.

Sounds like you might have been sent the wrong cable since no one else seemed to have had that problem.
