speedometer failed, took it to a shop that said the cable was most likely broken by the transmission, and sent me to a tranny shop who told me that it didn't HAVE a cable, and was electronic in the dash... which is it? ii's an s10 blazer with 4.3l 4x4.

its controlled by a vehicle speed sensor, no cable. there is a sensor located on the transfer case that tells the speedo how fast you are going. id start there. hope this helps. feedback and votes are much appreciated.
