Give your speedometer a fresh link to the transmission with the ATP speedometer cable Y-805, a direct-fit replacement for a cable that has started to bind, break or turn sluggish. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1982-1991 Ford F-150, 1983-1990 Ford Mustang and 1991-1993 Ford Explorer. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury applications.
A speedometer cable connects the speedometer to the transmission. With age, the original can bind, break or simply grow sluggish, and ATP recommends replacing the old cable with a new one. This ATP cable is designed to fit and function just like the original part.
- End types: A male post on End 1 and a female snap on End 2. Neither end is threaded.
- Plastic jacket: The cable is housed in a plastic jacket with a smooth finish.
- One per vehicle: The listed applications use one cable.
Signs a speedometer cable may need replacing include a needle that bounces, lags or stays at zero, or a ticking or whining noise from behind the dash. These symptoms can also come from the speedometer head or the drive gear, so diagnose the cause before ordering. If the cable is the problem, Y-805 replaces it.
