    Hi guys, a couple of questions.

    How long should this cable be?

    4 door, I am pretty sure TH350 transmission, no cruise.

    or

    I am pretty sure this is going to be a PITA to do, so I want to do my best to only do it once.

    Also, this is due to a squeaking noise coming from the speedo, I am hoping it is the cable, if not the cable whats next?

    Thanks again!

    Cable length = 57 27/64” if no cruise master.

    Try to lube your existing cable with the correct graphite lube first.

    There was a place in Texas that will make a cable to any length that you specify. Or you can search for a NOS or used OEM cable with the housing. I doubt that Summit, etc. could tell you the correct length for a Buick.
