03 Cobra T56 Into My Fox (speedo & Clutch Fork Position)

If it were me, i'd do the tailshaft mod.
But I like mechanical connections as opposed to electronic and I prefer the stock cluster.
I used to see this topic on some of the modular conversion forums.
Some guys used the cable x, but with mixed reviews like you said.

I ithink D&D did something too with the tailshaft, but that's a while ago. Haven't even heard that name lately.

Google gps speedometer. There are also heads up displays. Just another option but maybe you already ruled it out. Heres an example.

I honestly like the idea of tail shaft mod and keep factory gauges.

You will have to shorten the clutch fork for shore. All so had to do some minor heat and beat,on the header for cable clearance.

You could probably do a hydraulic conversion.

Just searching around to see what others did and came across this. I'm aware it's an old thread... Time will tell, but I'm pretty happy with the inital results of installing the Cable-x. It will not solve the factory cruise, though, as the VSS won't cleanly adapt to install into the box. You could probably fabricate an adapter, but my solution was to install a Dakota signal converter. See my Black Jack thread for more details.

Pros: Infinitely adjustable, so you're not stuck with a drive:driven gear combination that, though optimized, remains off by 3%+. For my 4.10s, this is especially true. Also, no more chewed up 23-tooth driven gears.

If using the Dakota, it's even more adjustable, and the adjustment is as easy as pulling up their app and changing a multiplier. I've done it on the fly to dial in an exact reading while cruising.

Cons: Cable-x is very sensitive to interference and sends erratic 'jumps' to my speedo when stopped. Didn't do it on my test drives while moving, though. I should probably run its own dedicated power supply, but spliced into another available switched power source already under dash

Still bounces a bit at low speed. Seems pretty stable above 20-25 mph.

Slow to register while accelerating from a stop. Once rolling keeps registered down to 10 or so mph.

It would have been great if the OP had posted back which option that he chose and how it worked out. He hasn't been here since 11/17 so perhaps he didn't do the swap.

It's interesting that you chose the Cable X. The results aren't terrible and seems to be working for you.

Thinking thru this sway I would probably choose the tail shaft option due to being closest to factory style and would likely have best reliability in the long run.
