I am starting to collect the parts for the 5 speed swap and got to thinking about the speedo cable. Do I need a speedo cable for a chain driven case and will that hook up to the guage cluster in my 86 auto 4Runner? Im going to be installing a rebuilt engine at the same time. Long story short, don't buy used engines online from somebody that doesn't have any feedback, just buy a rebuilt engine lol. I had all the cash I needed to pay my mechanic to put in a used engine and do a headgasket but the engine never showed up so now I have the cash for a rebuilt, it's just going to be a longer wait so I am going to swap a 5 speed and gear driven case at the same time. I might even get som Marlin gears for the case while Im at it.

Also the speedo doesn't currently work in the truck either.

 

The speedo cables are the same between the two trucks
