Hey guys. First post here. Bringing a 1991 bronco silver anniversary back to life and am trying to figure out where the speedo cable is located and what’s going on under my truck. The cable is currently just dangling under the truck and I can’t seem to locate where it attaches to the transfer case. Is it the cable broken? For reference my bronco is a 91 5.8l with what I believe is a e40d transmission 4wd. Thanks for the help.

Looks like yours has a speed sensor in the location the speedometer cable goes, maybe someone swapped the tcase?

Hmmmm… I thought maybe that was the case. No pun intended. From the pictures of the stock set up mine didn’t look the same but I’m unfamiliar so I wasn’t sure. This is my first time working on 90s fords. I’m familiar with old fords but not so much these years. So the picture you attached is a stock t-case? Or not. I guess I’m just unsure where to go from here. I’m also having issues with the bronco not shifting while in drive. Could this be related?

Hey Rad, if it's any help, here is a shot of what my '91 looks like from that same angle. It's not a SA edition, is a EB with the same 351w-E4OD setup.
Everything is functional- speedo, 4X, etc.
Is possible a previous 'witch-doctor' may have left you hanging without the correct adapter to make everything go where it's supposed to.
If the Ecu/sensor is not getting or showing the correct info to the system then yes, that can cause whacko shifting.
