Hi guys,

I tried searching in the archives, but have not found the answer to my
question.

After 18 years and 120,000 miles, my speed cable has finally stopped
working.

I am on the NAPA site and trying to find the replacement speedo cable
for my 89' GT with maual tranny, but it gives me a choice of 2
different types and I do not know which is the right one.

these are the choices:

Number=6151631&Description=Speedometer+Cable+-+Lower

http://www.napaonline.com/masterpages/NOLMaster.aspx?PageId=470&LineCode=BK&Part
Number=6151625&Description=Speedometer+Cable

Could anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Why not pull the defective one and check?

I had to do this a while ago too, on my 1991 GT. The first cable you
have listed is for a car with cruise control, the second is for one
without. (This could be reversed, but this is the reason for the two
different cables). Hope this helps

Yup, Kragen has theirs listed with and without cruise.

I don't want to pull out the old cable until I am ready to put the new
one in so I don't forget how to route the new one in.
Looks like I need the 72" one, since I have cruise control.
Thanks for your help, guys.

Take a look at the speedometer cable where it plugs
in to the transmission. If there is a doodad there
with wires attached to it, you need BK 6151631.
If there are no wires in that aread, you need the
other one - the one that has a little collar around the
end.
