Without knowing the specific vehicle, those sizes are close enough to probably interchange.

What else can be wrong with spastic speedometer needle on a 1996 Ford Escort station wagon the speedometer cable and cluster have been replaced and the speedometer still doesnt work?
So the speed gauge in the dash and the speedometer cable have been replaced. Well, the only thing left to my knowledge would be the geared speed sensor in the transaxle. I have the same problem. Replaced the speedometer cable but to no avail. I then took the speedometer out and used an electric motor to drive it on my bench and noticed that the part that is driving the needle (driven by a magnet) starts vibrating at certain speeds. On further investigation I found that the bush on the panel that the spindle goes through ( just behind the needle) is worn and hence the spindle/shaft does not run tight and starts vibrating/rattling and then it sometimes swing up and down. When I lightly touch the needle it stabilizes for a while and then starts vibrating again. The needle is not driven directly, but through a magnetic coupling so the slightest interference can cause problems. It seems the only solution is to replace the speedometer. Unfortunately you have to replace the whole cluster. I thought I could do something about the bush, but it is too delicate and you will have to remove the little coil spring which means the speedometer will have to be re-calibrated.

How do you adjust your speedometer after changing sizes of tires on a 98 prelude?
Many speedometer shops do it routinely. If it off significantly, they change the little gear in your trans that turns the cable. It's od determines ratio which determines what you see. I have heard a digital is easier but no adjustment can be made until it is determined how far off yours is by running on a dynomometer type machine. If tire size is close to original, discrepancy is negligible.

i own a 1973 super beetle and when i bought it i had the same problem. we fixed it by replacing the speedometer cable on it. the cable runs from the front, driver-side tire and goes in to the back of the gauge it gets a little tough unless you have tiny hands but that fixed it for me.

Depending on the vehicle, if they are also replacing the fuel pump/sending unit, that price is not out of line. But just replacing the tank alone, it is a little high, again depending on the vehicle.
How do you repair the speedometer on a 1983 Monte Carlo?
Depending on what you mean by "repair", the common issue for a speedo not working in an 80s Monte, is due to a bad cable, which would just need replacing. Your question needs a little more detail.
How do you replace the odometer cable on a 1995 Ford Thunderbird LX?
You don't. There is no such thing as an odometer or a speedometer cable on that vehicle. The speedometer is electrically operated using a signal from the vehicle speed sensor. The odometer is driven by a little electric motor in the speedometer head assembly. If the speedo is working, but the odo isn't, you need a speedometer head assembly. If both are inop, you COULD need a speedo head, but there could also be a problem elsewhere in the system.
