my speedometer and odometer were not working when i purchased my truck. i finally got around to replacing the cable but still no action! upon further inspection the part that the cable threads onto the tranny seems to be theculprit. the gears spin but the rod or whateve it is that goes into the tranny is broken. its the same type that is at the end of the cable . its like a tang with a bump on one side that has a mating slot in the tranny. hard to explain. anyone know what that part is and how to get another one. thankss

Sounds like you should start with a new cable?

take it to your local Chevy dealer parts dept. They should be able to match it up.
