[Spridgets] Speedomiter cable

[Doug Altman]

Ryan - Make sure the square end that goes into the transmission is not
slipping inside the speedo gear.  Sometimes the gear wears out and rounds out
in the hole that accepts the cable and you get a speedo that works sometimes,
and sometimes, under pressure, will not.  I had to solder some tin on two
sides of the square end of the cable so that it fit more snuggly in the speedo
gear.  Works great, now.  Doug    ....o~'o

[Spridgets] Speedomiter cable

so my speedomiter and odometer stopped working
even though the cable was tight to the gauge. I pulled the cable out of the
gauge and it spun but erasily slid out of the housing. so I pulled the whole
thing out and found rust ( dusting ) on the cable where it bends.

questions: 
1. what do I use to lube this ? regular grease or something
better? 
2. the plastic nipple that stops just before the end that goes into
the gauge is less than 1/2" from the edge of the cable. should this be farther
back? 

thanks

no officer i don't know how fast I am going because my
speedo cable is in the boot.
