Rebuilt speedo has been installed.
Problem: No matter what speed driven, speedo only registers 5 mph.

Could my cable be suspect?

Thanks for the help.

yes it could be, or the cable might not be fully tightened into the trans fitting or the lower cable end or driving gear in the trans could be buggered

disconnect it from the trans and see if you can chuck up the "tit" inside the cable in your cordless drill and have a helper look at the gauge while you turn the drill slowly, then a bit faster, then you'll know if its a cable/speedo problem or drive gear in the trans case
