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
