Good Morning Group-
My speedometer has been inoperative since I bought my car early this year
and since I needed to remove the trans tunnel, I decided to see what I could
do to rectify the problem. I left the speedo cable screwed into the gauge
and spun the cable between my fingers and the speedometer needle moved as I
moved the cable, so I figured it wasn't the gauge.
I removed the Right Angle Drive from the car to see if I could find anything
that looked bad, but it looked okay as well, so I lubricated the cable, put
everything back together, and drove the car.
The speedometer worked but it didn't register properly; it read about 15 to
20 MPH fast. After 12-15 miles, it quit. It worked again for a few minutes,
but that was the end of that.
I hate to remove the carpet and transmission tunnel to try the same thing
again without some insight; does anyone have a feel for what could possibly
be the matter and what I could do to remedy my problem?
Please advise & thanks- Doug
