Speedometer Cable Replacement

[contradan]

Hey Guys,

For my '95, the cable is whining so bad in this weather its giving me ear problems. I've tried all the lubing suggestions but it keeps coming back. I must replace it, but I'm pretty reluctant to pay the 150$ + from the dealer for a new speedo cable. I found some Dorman 03205 cables for the '90-92 models are only 11$ online and from the pictures, the tranny thread connector and dash connector seem compatible.

Has anyone ever tried installing one?

Heres the link:

Think its worth it to try anyways?

I've replaced them before, it's easy enough. But I've only used OEM cables off of parts trucks, so I don't know about aftermarket replacements.

if it's an oem replacement, it'll be fine, just as long as it's not a "universal" replacement...major pain to put them in, been there, done that.
