[Tigers] Speedometer/Speedometer cable

[Don Wheeler]

Thanks for all your help in advance!!



When I bought my Tiger I was told that the speedo cable was broken and
that was why it [speedo] did not work.



I pulled the cable out of the transmission and it seemed fine on that
end, so I took the speedometer end off and it too looks fine.  By
spinning the tranny side, with my fingers, I can see the speedo end
spinning. Hmmmm.



Taking the Speedo apart to look at it I noticed that the gears were
cracked, so it can use a make over, but may or may not make it
inoperable.



I inserted the tranny side back and took the car for a spin, and the
speedometer end does not turn. Hmm Hmmmm



My question is what was left out of the transmission, or how big of a
deal is or could this actually get?  Maybe some gears are missing from
inside the tranny?



Other than rebuilding a 350 in a 69 Camaro in High School I don't
remember to much about transmissions, of course I didn't rebuild that
tranny either!



What am I in for?



Thanks
