raydurr Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Hello .I am having difficulty in getting my new speedometer cable adapter to work. I have a Buick 29-41 .I recently purchased a good used speedometer cable assembly. On this cable assembly ,it still had the die cast adapter pn 848188.It has swollen and is too large to go into my transmission.so I then purchased from CA ,a new brass adapter .It fits beautifully into my transmission.It has cast into it pn 848188 as well.The problem is, the bore that the outer cable housing goes into, on the diecast part is approximately 2.2 inches deep. The bore depth on the brass part is approximately .9 inches deep. I know that it can be drilled or bored to match the depth of the diecast part,but Id rather not.Has anyone else encountered this problem? I hope that Im using the correct parts.I have no original part number resources.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelod Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Having a hard time understanding your situation just from the description. Can you post some photos to illustrate the problem?Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 You would think a reproduced part would be a direct fit. It's been a long time since mine was out, I assume you're saying that .9" is not deep enough to hold the outer cable sheath ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raydurr Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 You are correct.The outer cable sheath needs to go into the adapter, farther to allow the inside cable to protrude. I would post photos but am unable to at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
