OK,  here is the latest on my speedometer.  (if you remember last month it
broke after being replaced the month before that)  Taking a nice cruise
through north central Florida (to pay a speeding ticket three counties
away, go figure) and my speedo bounces and then dies.  My first reaction
"*&%$#!!*, not again"  I was convinced my cable broke again.  After getting
home (driving home very slow to avoid yet another ticket)  I found that the
angle drive going into my overdrive unscrewed itself and had become
disconnected.  This brings me to my next question.  What is the best way to
keep it from coming unscrewed.  I have the hardest time just getting the
thing back on and I am seriously tired of dealing with it?  Any ideas.

By the way Lawtey Florida on hwy 301 is the biggest speedtrap on the
eastern seaboard.  Alot of you will drive straight through it going to the
Southeastern Regional in Ocala later this month.  DO NOT go 1 Mile over the
speed limit through this town.  It drops from 65 to 55 to 45 all within a
half mile.  Best of luck.
