You are sure right on those older ones, but the op has a 95? and no cable, just wires from the VSS

You are CORRECT. It fits in TC. Maniac. Yes, she's a 91. Yes, I'm a Hijacker, Company Took More time than suspected. Have graphite. I understood it's a heck of a lot easier to take dash off to reach speedometer. Something about contortionist...Will probably Lube & Replace Cable. Mechanic that replaced cluster, 4-5 years ago, had deer in headlight look when I asked about lubes....Don't get me started on him...
Greatly Appreciate the Input.....

You are CORRECT. It fits in TC. I'm barely on the cusp of R & R, Remove, Replace mechanic, Why I'm here?
Picked up Graphite in Big city y-day, weather coming, will get to when can get to. MPG took a dive after kid did last 2 difficult, for me, S plugs, so that's ahead of the Roundtoit list...
Again, Big Thank You to All for assistance..

All it will do if you do not replace it is the speedo will bounce and the cruise will surge a bit
Mine on my 94 van has been doing that for years (mine is in the rear end 4x2 E4OD)
I had been living with it and planned on replacing it someday
All of the sudden after a few thou miles, it quit that and now does not bounce as much and my cruise quit surging
Life is good
