Its actually pretty easy. You can look it up on YouTube where a trained professional displays how its done; that's where I learned. I recently replaced mine with a little effort. First, you need to remove the bottom plate under the steering wheel that is connected with two screws on each side and then take the plastic portion around the steering wheel that is connected with about 4 screws. The top plastic portion that surrounds the speedometor has three self connectors that pulls out but before you do that you need to be very careful and be patient because the connectors will break and will possibly break the top plastic portion. You might be able reach under the dash and help force it out ward. Once you have taken the plastic portion off, you can see the speedometor connected and there is a single lip that you push down and it will disconnect. You know go to the engine area and squeeze the rubber part that is securing the cable, it will pop out and feed it outward. You then go underneath the car and unscrew the cable with some channel locks and feed the cable out. There is a clamp between the engine and the wall which is hard to reach but it can be bent back using a thin firm stick. Then all you have to do is repeat the process backward. You might have to play a little under the car in lining up the cable exactly with the connection. It took me a half an hour to complete. However for me, I broke the top plastic portion but I managed to buy another for only $20.00 off Craigslist.
The Mazda tachometer and the speedometer have separate cables. The tachometer cable probably does not work properly. Change the tachometer cable.
how do you run the wire for the power windows on a 91 Mazda miata
My guess would be that there isn't any speedometer cable, it is probably electronic.
Back of the speedometer, through the firewall and into the top of the transmission.
The speedometer cable on a 1987 Mazda 323 is located on top of the transmission and travels up to the dashboard. It helps the vehicle's computer monitor speeds constantly.
Isnt one, its hydraulic, and its next to the brake fluid resevior
remove cluster and replace cable. Reverse removal procedure for installation.
The speedometer cable (which runs from the transmission to the dashboard) has snapped. This is a two-piece cable, and the one-piece cable in later Proteges will not work. I had the transmission replaced, and the cable could never be fit in properly. This is a mechanical speedometer, so you would have to change the entire speedometer part of the instrument panel to use a magnetic/electronic speedometer.
Start by removing the gauge cluster, unhook the speedometer cable from back of cluster. Pull speedo cable thru the firewall, follow it down to the transmission, and then unhook it. Install in reverse order of removal.
On the top of the transmission. I leads into the fire wall so it should be easy to find.
buy a chilton it explains, no dipstick on the manuals. speedometer cable is the dipstick
