T5 Conversion - Speedometer cable

Thanks for the picture. That seems to be the exact place the speedometer cable is. Maybe a previous owner moved it? So I guess my next question is... Where does your speedometer cable come through the firewall? I did see another plugged hole in the firewall on my car a couple of inches to the left of the one you are showing (towards the center). Could this be where the speedometer cable should be? It seems pretty hard to access under the dash.

Thanks again

Your clutch cable sounds like it's in the right spot then. Speedo cable comes out HIGHER and to the left (towards center of car) of the clutch cable. Sounds like someone moved it on ya. Look at this pic (MY GAWD was my engine compartment UGLY back then! YUK!)

Anyways, the BLUE cable is the clutch. Black is the throttle cable, and the Gray one is the speedo. Throttle & Speedo come out on the flattened spot that starts the tranny tunnel.
