speedometer question

Well, just when I thought I got everything squared away on my truck, the speedometer quit working I crawled underneath to see where it was located, and I noticed that the cable itself was turned into a loop right by the tranny. Is this normal? I don't know how long it's been like that.

This truck seems like a never-ending project

A loop is no good. The cable probably broke.

Yep it broke right at the tranny. Any suggestions where to find a replacement cable? This one is in pretty bad shape

Thanks again
