[6pack] speedo opinions

[Peter Chalk]

Ive had issues here too with my 2500 - not my '6 tho.. doesn't do enough km
Some noise, but v. jumpy speedo needle.. Firstly went thru the tasks of 
re-greasing the cable path all along the cable sheath.... smoothness 
improved a little, but no bananas!
Then all speedo registration gave up and left it while I got a few 
speeding tickets..
I put a cordless drill on the gearbox end of the cable and this 
indicated the issue..
Got another nylon drive gear for the gearbox end and voila... smooth, 
(more) accurate speedo.. The other one had obvious wear but still had 
teeth . Bad enough to disable the speedo though.
Make sure you top the gearbox back up again as you lose some oil from 
the OD when changing over..

cheers
