To install the speedometer cable on a Geo Prizm, first, ensure the vehicle is safely elevated and secured. Locate the speedometer cable connection on the transmission and the back of the speedometer gauge. Attach one end of the cable to the transmission and the other end to the speedometer, ensuring both connections are securely fastened. Finally, check the routing of the cable to avoid kinks or pinches before reassembling any covers or panels.
In a 1974 Mercedes 450SL, the speedometer cable connects to the back of the speedometer gauge located on the instrument cluster. The other end of the cable attaches to the transmission, specifically to the speedometer drive on the transmission casing. This cable transmits the rotational speed from the transmission to the speedometer, allowing it to display the vehicle's speed.

To disconnect the speedometer cable, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off and parked on a level surface. Locate the speedometer cable, which typically connects the transmission to the speedometer on the dashboard. Carefully unscrew or unclip the connector at the transmission end, making sure to avoid damaging the cable or surrounding components. If necessary, consult your vehicle's manual for specific instructions related to your model.
