1990 Es250 Speedometer Cable Adapter Assembly Issue
 

Hey there. I am very new at this forum chat thingy but I have an issue concerning my 1990 Lexus ES250. Long story, short... I need either 1) a speedo cable adaptor assembly or 2) someone needing a project
Around April 2011, my cousin graciously let me have his 90 Lexus ES250 because I seem to have a curse that doesn't allow me to own a running vehicle for more than 6 months at a time. Several months down the line I let a friend of a friend use the car to get to work temporarily and got it back almost 8 months later with a blown clutch and a missing amp & spare tire and rim. Needless to say, I was a little.... irked, but nothing the local law would do since I got the car back and had no money for a lawyer.
Months go by and I am slowly working on saving the money to get the clutch replaced when my cousin offered to get it fixed for me and then I could pay him back. It's now been a little over a month and, after getting the car back from the dealership, I noticed that the speedometer and the radio were inop so I took it back to have them fix those 2 problems. The reply I got was that the speedometer adapter assembly "fell apart" when they pulled the transmission back to replace the clutch and I was given a part wrapped in a shop towel and told that they have no idea how to get a replacement. I have grudgingly searched, called and searched some more online and off and decided to try the forum sites. Needless to say, I am a little irritated over the fact that it has come down to me having to do the research work for this shop that jacked up my car and I now have no vehicle to drive and no one I know can seem to find the replacement part anywhere. So if anyone can guide me to a place that I can forward to the shop so they can actually fix my car, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanx in advance.
