Detailed Product Information

The ATP Parts Y-817 speedometer cable is designed for direct replacement where a 41-inch cable is specified, including many cruise control-equipped GM vehicles. It is a practical solution for restoring speedometer needle movement when the original cable has become sluggish, noisy, or damaged. This part number, Y-817, is listed across numerous applications including Chevrolet G10, G20, G30, Caprice, Cavalier, and GMC G2500 models, along with select Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Cadillac vehicles.

Because speedometer cables transfer mechanical motion from the transmission to the instrument cluster, wear inside the cable housing can cause inaccurate readings or intermittent operation. Replacing the cable with a properly matched 41-inch unit helps return the system to normal operation.

What This Part Helps Fix

• Speedometer needle that jumps or moves erratically
• Speedometer cable binding or stiffness
• Noisy cable operation from wear inside the housing
• Broken or disconnected mechanical speedometer drive
• Inaccurate vehicle speed readings on listed applications
