Question
I have a 1995 ford contour LX 6-cyl. 5 speed manual trans. 4 door sedan
Can you tell me where I can obtain a lower speedometer cable

Answer
Joe,
  I don't see that anyone in the aftermarket makes a cable for your car. Also, I would guess, since you ask for the lower cable, the car has cruise control??
  I have printed out your letter and will take it to work tomorrow. I don't know how to keep your mail as "new" when I have responded. You may want to "re-send" it and I will let you know what I find out tomorrow. IF your car does NOT HAVE CRUISE, PLEASE let me know!!  
   Gotta go fix my lunch for tomorrow and watch K.U. Basketball. Keep in touch and I will too...

UPDATE:
Joe,
 The OEM part number is: F5RZ17260E. You can find this part at a web site called: "www.parts.com". Since you are not a member, I'm not sure how much it will cost you but the web site says they have it. Let me know if you have any more trouble..

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
