91 Rs Speedometer cable

I'm replacing a speedometer cable on a 1991 Rs Camaro. I bought the car knowing the speedometer didnt work, but when I went to see why, there was no cable at all, none whatsoever. So after a little while I bought a speedometer cable replacement kit. Looking at the kit now I realize I may not have everything I need. I have the cable, but do I need a cable casing? And if so where could I find one. Thanks

i had a 92 rs and the speedometer doesnt use a speedometer cable which is probably why you couldnt find a cable on it...the problem with mine was a clip in the transmission and it was $5.95 to fix.

Thats weird because I looked into a repair manual and its got a section on speedometer cable replacement. Anyway, do you know what the chp was called?

sorry no i dont remember it was around 3 years ago i had that car and the speedometer didnt work when i bought it and i went to chevrolet garage and asked about ordering a speedometer cable for it and they tried looking it up but they couldnt find one in their catalog so i went and talked to a mechanic and he told me they didnt have speedometer cables and he fixed it for me...mine was a 92 so it may be different...i was thinking they were the same but i may be wrong.

Im pretty sure 91 and 92 are the exact same...maybe 92s different because its anniversary or something. Thanks for your help though

91's are the same, it's electronic, there's a part on the tailshaft of the tranny that has a wire harness plugged into it, when you unbolt that part and pull it out it will have one of the speedo gears on it, the "driven" gear if i recall correctly. your problem probably lies there or within the cluster itself.

if you got a repair manual that is for all third gen camaros... then it would cuz earlier third gens did use cables... yours does not

If that's the only gauge that doesn't work, I think you need a new VSS (vehicle speed sensor).

First off...thanks for the help, I realize now that there is no cable at all. Secondly I would imagine the problem is the speed sensor...I just called a local shop and they said itd be 60 bucks for the sensor... Am I missing something? Speed said his was a 6 dollar fix

He said, "the problem with mine was a clip in the transmission and it was $5.95 to fix." I take it he didn't need to replace the speed sensor. He may be referring to just a wire pigtail. $60 is about right for your VSS.

yep it was $5.95 for the part that fixed it, he charged 70 in labor to fix it....but anyways yep $5.95, no it wasnt the speed sensor but its been so long i cant remember what it was exactly
