The after market cables are usually too short and require a spacer in the drive gear end. Push the cable all the way into the drive gear and measure how much sticks out of the speedometer end. Then subtract that measurement from 5/16". Cut a #10 machine screw to that length and slide it into the drive gear. When done speedometer end of the cable should stick out about 5/16" with a little pressure on it. That should fix your problem.
