Well I took some time today to try and figure out some of the problems
that we have been having in the car. I took the speedometer out of the
can to see if my untrained eye could figure out what to look for. I
was told that something may have come loose but nothing seems to be
laying on the balance wheel. I thought it might be lack of lube but
there seems to be more lube in there than I could imagine. I also
check the end of the speedo cable to make sure it had lubrication.
There is a greasy substance there as well. The speedometer seems to be
getting "hung up" around 50 mph and slowing to about 40 then stopping,
when it is out of the can. I do not know how much grease should be in
there. Is there supposed to be a lot? I did not want to fiddle with
it to much since I am not totally sure what I am looking for and did
not want to mess anything up. Based off what I have explained does any
one have any thoughts as to what it could be. The odometer and
tripometer are still working fine which is why I think it is in the
speedometer head and not the cable.
Thanks,
Kristi and Lambert
