Description
Swapping to a modern transmission with electronic speed sensing but want to keep your classic mechanical speedometer? The Abbott Cable-X is the original speedometer adapter that lets you operate your mechanical speedometer with your updated transmission. This unit takes the electronic vehicle speed sensor (VSS) signal from your modern gearbox and converts it to precise mechanical cable rotation that drives your stock gauge.
Encased in a rugged metal housing measuring 4.75" x 3.5" x 2.25", the Cable-X is engineered to handle any vehicle speedometer conversion. The unit picks up the electronic speedometer signal and operates the cable-driven speedometer to the corresponding speed, eliminating the need for costly gauge conversions or dashboard modifications. This is the adapter that solved the transmission-swap speedometer problem when nothing else would.
Installation is straightforward with just three wire connections: hot, ground, and signal. The included GM snap-on connector provides direct integration with GM vehicle speed sensor harnesses, eliminating splicing and ensuring reliable connections. No costly installation of drive gears or messy cables to deal with.
This is a clearance item that has been previously installed. The wires are shortened and it cannot be sold as new, but the unit remains fully functional for your conversion needs. Perfect for classic car restorations, street rods, and performance builds where maintaining period-correct instrumentation matters while upgrading to modern drivetrain components.
