[QUOTE="XFIRE82, post: 168647, member: 2292"] It can vary as I have seen different cable ends over the years. The cable end may be just shaped in a square , or it can be a glued on plastic square tip . Same thing with the cable removal from the casing , some simply pull out this end or it may be the other end or not at all if both ends have glued on tips. It is not hard to tell if it will pull out of the casing at the transducer end by simply grabbing it with a pair of sharp nose pliers and pull, if you feel right away a " dead end " just try push it in and out and you can tell if the cable is moving free and has a stopper hit to it. If it does then have to try pull from the other side. Replacement of the tip is possible if the cable did not break off and there is enough left to glue back on . Did you try and see if the transducer turns ? Good practice is to pull the cable out once in a blue moon and soak it in engine or auto tranny oil and put back in the casing as this keeps it lubed and a smooth turning speedo. [/QUOTE]
