I have an 81 malibu, speedo doesn't work. cable hooked to dash work as I can use a drill to turn it and speed changes. What other cable/adapter do I need to make it work? Any insight is appreciated!

Only other thing is that one of the two speedo gears is broken

Well the line isn't hooked up the transmission so my question was more is there another lower/upper cable and/or adapter that I would need to hook it to the transmission? I went to the parts store and got a lower cable since the upper is fine, but I think I need some kind of adapter to combine the two?

AFAIK the only cars with two piece speedo cables were ones with cruise control. Just get a cable for a non-cruise car.......

Well I feel dumb ha! That would make sense as the cruise control unit has been removed. Now I just need to pull my cluster back and run a new cable!

Thanks guys, Ill let you know how it turns out!
