My 95 toyota tacoma Speedo cable keeps breaking where it connects to the transmission. What is causing this? Any advice is appreciated thanks for reading

 

After you have installed a new cable, does the speedo work correctly for a while before the new cable breaks?

 

What exactly is breaking? That year it should be an electronic speedometer.

 

Not sure about Tacos, but my '95 5-speed 4Runner has a cable speedo.
I think that some earlier '90s' had electronic speedos, and then they changed back to cable for some reason.

 

yes but a toyota mechanic lubed it before it was installed this time and so far so good. the mechanic said that they should be lubed before installation because they get really hot when they spin thanks for the reply

 

im not sure what its called its a little metal thing that goes into the transmission that is crimped onto the cable. thanks for the reply. it has been replaced and is working good I had it lubed before installation by a toyota mechanic. he said the issue was that it wasn't lubed before installation
