I have a speedometer issue. My mechanic says he doesn't even know this part number or anything see anything like it on his schematics. Anyone know what this is or where to get one? KARMA?

What is the problem with the speedo that the mechanic is fixing?

A picture of the speedo showing from where you think this part belongs would be most helpful.

One single photo, can't tell size or shape ....... but is that the end of the speedometer cable itself?

If so, just order a replacement speedometer cable.
