[TR] TR4 Speedo with OD

Tom,
 
It sounds like the right angle drive gear isn't working.  I just  recently 
replaced one for a friend.....the movable, inner shaft had seized and  
snapped inside the gear housing.....it was very difficult to see without  
removing the gear so, unless you can get the car on a lift, disconnect the cable  
and shine a light on the gear while someone above is running the car in  
gear, that's what you need to do to verify.  If you remove it in your  garage, 
get the car up on jack stands as high as you can because you'll need  some 
room to maneuver your wrenches/sockets!

Hi  All

I am finishing putting the interior back in after my prolonged  engine 
replacement.



One of the items that was not working  previously was the speedo.

I can connect the speedo to cable and turn  the cable at the transmission 
side of the cable and get the speedo to  move, when it is connected to the 
gearbox it will not move. When I  disconnect the cable from the speedo the 
cable is not being turned by the  gearbox.



Different cables and routing ( keeping it out if the  normal path do not 
change anything)



So I think it is in the  OD gearbox  where it drives the cable.



How do I  verify?

What would I need to do to  fix?



Thanks

Tom
