<pre wrap="">Mike,
if the cable is in one piece, and the speedo needle is free to bounce, then it's your angle drive. With my angle drive, when I first pulled it out and I spun the drive end, the cable end also turned...it was only after I stuck something in the cable end did I discover that the drive end still turned and that something inside had sheared. Hope that makes sense.

Well, the cable is in one piece, and looks ok, still a nice square on both ends. I will pull the right angle drive. Question. If I remove the drive, will all the oil run out? I hope not.

if it turns easily from the top, either the cable is broken---the cable is to short--or the other end of the cable has rounded out---or lastly--the right angle drive is broken. Pull it all out and inspect all pieces.

Interestingly, the speedo was working fine, until one day it didn't. No
warning. I decided to unhook the connection at the back of the speedo
and see if the square end of the cable was rotatable. To my surprise,
the entire cable was not even connected to the speedometer. Just
hanging loose. Since it takes quite a few turns to screw it on, this
seems odd. Connecting it did not solve the problem. Anyway, the cable
itself turns quite easily; does this mean the cable itself is broken?
If so, I will have to pull each end out separately. It's a real pain to
get under the car, as it is an inch off the ground (it seems), and I am
more than an inch thick. Working from the top as Bob suggested sounds
better.

Not sure what it takes to get to the back of the speedo but on my BT7 I
unscrew the cable housing and pull out the cable. A new one can be slipped
in if the housing is good.

Finally a question I can help with! As a new Healy owner I've been lurking
on the list for the past few weeks, soaking up the questions and answers as
best a new Healy owner can.
Answer to your question Mike : from above. Definitely. Take the seats out,
remove the radio console and transmission tunnel, and all is exposed. Did
this earlier today on our BJ8 to replace a missing engine/bell housing bolt
and did not take too long at all.
