Do you still have the old one from the car? They should be compatible with each other.

no i dont have the original cable,i wasent sure weather to buy one for a 200-r4 or a th-350 are they the same fittings (dash and transmission side)

The cable is in two pieces, one that goes to the engine compartment to speedo, then one from trans to engine compartment. If you dont have the one goin from engine compartment to speedo, make sure you get both of them.

They have the same fittings.
