I'm trying to attach the speedo cable to my 5 speed trans., (Rivergate kit). Can't see where it goes! Car is up on jacks--just can't see it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks...

Underneath, if your sitting in the driver position with the box to your right, it's on the right side, halfway underneath, just slightly forward (but below) of the gear stick.
Let me know if you need a pic.

If you look down the Right side of the shifter boot hole its at about five oclock . Almost out of site facing to 11oclock. you will need small hands to put it on if its already in the car.
try and route the cable angle as shallow as possile as it could bind.

OOPs I must have been sitting on the wind shield

The thing smack in the middle of this photo.

Thanks Guys...Speedometer cable is in the car and routed into the speedo. It would have been much easier to have done it ahead of time but...the job is done.

Next step is to put the fluids in the car, hook up the electrics to the distributor and see if the engine goes VROOM!---that's tomorrow. Now it time to an English Dark Ale...a Hobgoblin.

Good luck Bruce!
You're a day ahead of me.
How tight was getting the motor and tranny back in?

Barry,

Very tight. Took a lot of cursing an struggling to get it in. Some people seem that they had an easier time..I hope you do.

What are those two wires for shown in your photo? Backup Lights?

Let me know how you do. Good luck!--don't forget beer.

Yes, back-up lights.
There are two on the tranny, and three on the Midget, so I guess I'll go without.
I'm really tempted to remove the upper fron valence to get a shallower angle.
Keep us posted on the start-up!

I thought those wires are for a neutral safety switch.

a what?
Didn't read anything about those in the instructions, please Trevor, tell more, I was about to snip them...

On the Datsun trans you should have three switchs; one for backups, one for neutral switch and one for 4th gear. The only one that you MUST remove is the backup one (naturally).

Tight is an understatement.
I had to bend the area beneath the heater, the tunnel just aft of the gear lever, and getting those gearbox mounting bolts in was just a plain nightmare.
It's over now, all in, nothing rubs anymore, and beer was drunk.

I put my trans & engine in a few months ago so I forgot some of the parts of that nightmare. You reminded me of what a gigantic PITA it was. Glad to hear you're done.

I never noticed a neutral switch on mine. Where is it. That would be a nice safety feature to hook up to keep from starting in gear.

I've got a Datsun transmission along with my Nissan motor.
No speedo cable installed.
Are you guys using the MG cable or a different cable?
It would be nice to get my speedo connected.
Any help would be appreciated.
