Slightly safer method: jack left front wheel, perform cable adjustments as below, (now you need another person), by hand spin tire counter-clockwise & observe for needle movement. Drive Stainless Robert VIN 6924

When my speedometer started acting funky, I also removed this cable.
However, you shouldn't ever need to worry about this cable breaking
because it has no possible exposure to weather, plus you dont want to
gunk up the speedometer itself. When I removed my upper cable from
the Yellow Box thingy (acually the LAMBDA counter), I noticed that
when I put it back, the square end of the drive cable had moved a
little, so it didn't match up with the square hole in the counter,
despite the end being fully screwed in, (it just bowed inside the
sleeve). What I would recommend doing is parking the car on a slight
slope in neutral. Get in a posistion where you can access the
cable-end in one hand, and control the parking brake in the other.
While lining up the square end of the drive cable with the square
hole
in the LAMBDA counter, slowly release the parking brake so the car
rolls ever so slightly. When the front wheel turns, so will the hole
in the counter, so the square will eventually line up, and when they
do so, push it all the way in, stop the car, and completely screw the
cable into the counter. If it worked, your speedometer should be
working just fine now.
