Ok two problems. they might be connected... I was driving down the road and started to hear banging. Looked down I was going 0 miles an hour. so i pulled over.. looked at it and saw it was the cable to the tranny for the speedometer.. i then drove two more block because i was almost at work at that point Plus we have a jack here. I jacked up the car screwed the speedometer back in but i knew there had to be a peice missing because first of all there was too much open space inside and i didnt think it was going to mate up anyways... so the question is if my speedo cable fell off is there a high chance the other peice inside would fall out also???



Second Problem is that my power steering is easy at first like when i start my car. then later it gets really hard to turn. but if i shut the car off and restart its easy to turn the wheel agian.. is it a sensor problem? I think its speed related to the computer of the power steering unit. However its been doing that for a long time anyways before my cable was an issue.. anyone know how to deal with this computerized power steering? thanks for any info you might have!

 

Ok well if by chance anyone has a speedo cable for an 88 auto please let me know... looks like it broke when it hit the ground...

 

hey u know i do

 

not sure about the longevity in those cables but..

same thing happened to me to replace it with another used one.. lasted not too long...

ended up purchasing a new one..
