Re: GTV speedo drive

[Kevin Trent <trentkc@domain.elided>]

I've had this problem several times.  I bent the cable at an angle in the 
squared off end that goes in the trans, shoved it in tight with needle nose 
pliers.  In extreme cases, I've also added JB weld to the cable end before 
shoving it in the transmission. It works.  //kct
