510farmer Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hey putting the 510 back together after about 5 yrs of laziness and all my pics of my tear down are gone on a crashed lap top try to see the route the speedo cable takes coming out the firewall could someone help me out with a pic thx farmer Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 The 510 cable stays on the left or driver's side, down beside the transmission and away from the exhaust. If like the 710 there are little tabs that fold over it to hold it up tight against the under body. Not that critical as long as there are no tight bends Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 There was one "bendable" tab on one of the steering box bolts that held the speedo cable in place as it went down past the exhaust.........do you have that tab? Also as Mike says, there should also be a tab down low on the firewall on the drivers side, as a second locating tab. Big question is if it is the original 4speed with speedo pinion on drivers side OR 5speed upgrade with pinion on the passenger side? TJ Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 My 710 uses the same 4 speed as the 510, short and on the driver's side. I put a longer zx 5 speed in with speedo on passenger side. By unclipping the original and pulling it into the engine compartment, I then run it down behind the head and diagonally over the top of the transmission and in. Fit's just fine and been there for 6-7 years. Quote Link to comment
