Tom,
It sounds like the right angle drive gear isn't working. I just recently
replaced one for a friend.....the movable, inner shaft had seized and
snapped inside the gear housing.....it was very difficult to see without
removing the gear so, unless you can get the car on a lift, disconnect the
cable
and shine a light on the gear while someone above is running the car in
gear, that's what you need to do to verify. If you remove it in your garage,
get the car up on jack stands as high as you can because you'll need some
room to maneuver your wrenches/sockets!

Hi All
I am finishing putting the interior back in after my prolonged engine
replacement.
One of the items that was not working previously was the speedo.
I can connect the speedo to cable and turn the cable at the transmission
side of the cable and get the speedo to move, when it is connected to the
gearbox it will not move. When I disconnect the cable from the speedo the
cable is not being turned by the gearbox.
Different cables and routing ( keeping it out if the normal path do not
change anything)
So I think it is in the OD gearbox where it drives the cable.
How do I verify?
What would I need to do to fix?
Thanks
Tom
