Need help with speedometer cable end at transmission

[resq302]

Ok, I just got a new Mopar speedometer cable from the dealership and noticed that it has a large nut looking retainer that threads onto the trans where the speedometer cable attaches at the trans.  The current one on my vehicle has a knurled sleeve that secures it to the trans.  The knurled one I installed about 6 years ago and it was a new repro that I got at a show in Hershey, PA that did fuel pumps, speedo cables, and a whole bunch of other items. 

What I would like to know is, what did original speedometer cables look like where it attached to the trans?  Did it have the large nut retainer or is it supposed to be the knurled sleeve?  If it is supposed to be the knurled sleeve, I will return the new Mopar cable back to the dealership.

Thanks,

Brian

Chris,

John Kunkel replied over at the Moparts board and he said that the knurled sleeve was reproduction ones, that original equipment had the nut style.  I know the one on my car is a repro as I replaced that one in my car myself and that has the knurled sleeve.  Do you know if yours in your car was replaced at any time?
