Certain "Plug" that anyone had luck with? If I leave it connected I'm afraid I might "Pin the speedo" and break something because of the major difference in rear gears. Thaks. Tom
Just hook it up. You won"t hurt the speedo. For completeness, however, the trans will work just fine without the speedo cable connected.
