Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?
Christmas came early!!!! I've was so unsure about what to do with the speedometer cable. I knew that there was no way a Mopar trans fitting and a GM trans fitting would be the same. On top of that, the Mopar cable is a few (4-5) inches short of where the 2004R fitting will end up. If you look at previous pics you should be able to see that the Mopar speedo trans connection is closer to the front than the 2004R. I figured I could get an adapter for two reasons: first, I need an adapter to compensate for the change of gears in the rear 3:08 to 4:10. Second, I need some way to extend the Mopar cable or something. I want to keep the Cuda as close to original on the dash. Anyway, I found this company that sells speedo adapters and told them my problem, they said:
"The cable ends are the same for GM unless it is a push on . The ratio adapter requires 3 speed readings to calculate . Get a GPS and when the gps says 40 wright down want you speedmeter says your doing . The same at 50 and 60 ."
Is said...NO WAY????? So I borrowed a GM cable from a friend and it screwed right into the extra 904 I have sitting in my garage. I couldn't believe it!!!:blob:
That totally solved my problem about using the stock Cuda speedo!! As you read what this company wrote you see that all you have to do is, "The ratio adapter requires 3 speed readings to calculate . Get a GPS and when the gps says 40 wright down want you speedmeter says your doing . The same at 50 and 60 ." They will sell you an adapter (pretty cheap) that solves the gearing/speedo problem (SEE PIC). How easy can it get???
I also have the short cable problem figured out as well. On ebay I found some one who sells a very short 20" GM speedo cable extension (SEE SECOND PIC). So now I can simply buy the extension do the GPS "thing" and all my speedo problems are solved!!!!!:cheers:
Third and forth pic are the GM speedo cable on the 904. One by one the problems are melting away.:burnout:
PS - I wonder what you do using a Gearvendor OD when it comes to using your stock speedometer???
