Has anybody else had any problems with the mechanical speedo adapter for the TKO 600? I can't get my stock speedo to slip into the adapter (extension) of the TKO-600's mechanical adapter.

To the people who have done this before - did you cut your factory one shorter to get it to slip into the extension piece? I can only get mine to slip in like a 1/8".... Can't get it to thread into the mechanical speedo adapter on the tranny... Help please....

Sorry wanted to make sure I subscribed to this one./...

I'm about 90 percent sure I had to shorten my speedo cable core with a dremel and cut-off wheel to get it to fit. That was at least three years ago on a Forte's TKO 5-speed.

It's possible that there is too much coating on the inside, making the ID too small to properly accomodate the square cable.

You can try to remove some of the coating, or just ask for a new unit. :)
