Ok folks - next on my to do list is the speedometer. There are really only 3 points of possible failure:
The sender gear The cable The speedo itself The old car was working when she went to sleep so I can easily swap out parts. Whats the most likely place to start? |

Jim,
Yup. The cable at that end has a slot in it. I used a slot screwdriver bit in it and could run it up to about 60MPH with my drill. Trick is you have to run the drill in reverse. So now I have the problem isolated to the angle drive. Is it going to gush oil if I remove it? I assume yes both from the design point of view plus the fact that it is leaking. Whole damned tranny is. I really should be putting the tranny from my old car in but I'm in a hurry to get this thing plated. |
