Default 88 XJ speedo cable

Just bought this 88xj 4.0L and the speedo cable is busted. I want to replace it but im not sure if this is stock or what this round part attached is. This jeep is on 35s and has 4.10 gears so im assuming maybe a speed correction device. It has 2wires attached. Any ideas?

That's the speed sensor for the cruise control. Usually that's behind the instrument cluster near the CC control module.

Here's the parts list for an Auto. A manual trans uses the same part number. Note they are all discontinued, but you can search on the PN and hopefully get hits on ebay or other online soruces.

There is a one-piece cable from an early Wrangler that will work if you don't care about cruise control.
You need to measure yours and determine what type of connection it has at the speedo head.

Just replaced mine on my 88.
ATP Y-924
Pioneer CA-3116
The pioneer is a little more expensive but it is better built and comes with the grommet for the firewall. It will eliminate the CC short cable and sensor but by the looks of it that isn't being used.
