Same here. I loosened the cable at the torque tube which should relieve binding if it is too long, but that didn't help.
I also noticed that I had the cable clamp on the lower frame rail instead of the upper, so I moved it. Now I know why I put it on the lower, there was a bolt hole there that seemed right and the splash shield is kinda blocking the upper hole - but I got it in.
After all this the speedometer might be worse. It sits on zero alot and jumps up and down from 20-25..crazy thing.
I have the floor board out now and am going to get in there with the drill again.

Has anyone pulled the inner shaft out of the speedometer cable while its in the car? Is that a bad idea?
