Just bought a second hand 1991 toyota corona, pero sira po yung speedometer nya (hindi na gumagalaw). suspetsa ko po speedometer cable.kaya po kaya na DIY yun? at mga magkano po kaya ang replacement? sana po matulungan nyo ako maayos yung speedometer ko. TIA

More than likely, cable lang nga yan. Madali lang namang i-DIY yan, although you may run into some issues sa pagbabaklas ng dash mo. Things like, ayaw pang matanggal, yun pala may natitira pang turnilyo, etc. Pag nailabas mo na yung speedo, try turning the gear on the back by hand. Dapat mabilis para pumalo yung needle. That'll tell you if it's the speedo or the cable that's broken.

As for the price, sorry I have no idea.

Kung ok pa ang speedo cable (hindi loose ang connection or putol), baka speed sensor na ang may tama. Don't know kung saan located ito sa Toyota, pero usually sa may transmission casing sya nakalagay pag Honda

No, kahit yung gauge panel lang. Yung speedo, tach (kung meron), fuel and other gauges, usually isang piraso lang yan.

The other end of the cable goes to the tranny. It connects to what looks like a slot where you would insert an oil or ATF dipstick, pero maliit lang yung butas nya. So, wala ka nang babaklasin on that end.
