WTB: Speedo cable - transmission side

Postby PearlWhiteMR2 » Mon Nov 05, 2012 6:46 pm

As the title says, mine has broken I need the half that goes into the transmission. I'm looking for a better price than my employee price at Toyota which is $70 brand new, so if you have a used one for half that I'll take it. Thanks :)

Tough choice, several people run into the problem more frequently as soon as it goes down the first time. To reduce the chances of this, at least try and grab a new cable if possible.

Or go electronic speedometer. :)

Thanks but if I wanted advice on what to do I would ask for that. I am trying my luck for a used one, if none are around clearly I will have to buy new but money is tight. Electronic is not a financially viable option at this point.

Set or just the one half? I need just that side. Is my stated price of half Toyota's cost fair?

Hey Cam never got a reply on the pricing yet, does half the cost of Toyota's new one work for you?

I appreciate that you're actually just trying to pay me back by fucking me around since I never came to get those t-top shades. Yeah, I admit it, I should have sent you a message and you know what? I apologize, because I didn't have the money anymore and I was embarrassed about it.

Now this is really immature and honestly, I just want a goddamn cable and I'm getting so sick of people in the car community being a bunch of backstabbing, immature little whiners... here in this club, and in others. Honestly you are all grown men and need to grow the hell up. People make mistakes, people don't follow through, and there are people out there you're not going to like, get over it and start acting your age, talk it through and communicate instead of resorting to revengeful tactics and low blows.

And please, don't talk about MY character because I failed to communicate with you. I should have, and I admitted that to you, I even said go ahead and call me out on the board. But this? This shows a complete lack of character.
