What speedometer cable 200 1978

posted by  someone claiming to be Silenceo0o0 on  Thu Apr 28 10:51 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I need a new speedometer cable for my 78 with a b21f and a non-overdrive 4-speed manual transmission (m45). I found some cables on ebay (gotta love ebay), and was just wondering if either of these would fit my car.

-This auction is for a new speedometer cable for any Volvo 240 (turbo or non turbo) with overdrive manual transmission from 1975-87 or any Volvo 260 (gas) with overdrive manual transmission from 1976-82

-This auction is for a new speedometer cable for any Volvo 260 with the standard transmission (non overdrive) from 1976-82.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I replaced the cable itself, not the outer sheath, with a generic. Just went to the local auto parts store with the old one. Available in 2 lengths which need to be cut to fit. There is a crimp on end. Cost about $9 Cdn. If you are in Canada, Canadian tire has them on the shelf.

    If you go this way, make sure you crimp on straight as wobbles cause a bouncy speedo at low speed.
