After j-spec TII engine swap, my oem speedometer cable broke. I figured it was simply because it was old. I ordered and installed a Doorman speedo cable. It seemed to work great for about 20-30 miles, then it broke in almost the identical place at the OEM one did (about 6-10" behind the speedometer). What is causing this?

I'm going to pull the aftermarket one and take it back so I can get a replacement.
