After recently hooking up a new repo speedometer cable it started squealing intermittingly.
I removed the inner shaft and lightly greased it and reinstalled. Still squealed intermittingly.

Is the brass sleeve supposed to butt up against the Speedo housing?

Here is a pic of the inner cable installed as far in as it can go.

The brass colar is about 1/2 away from housing.

Am I suppose to cut the inner and leave maybe 1/8 clearance for the inside?


Like I said it’s a repo speedometer cable. I don’t know where it was ordered from. It was in a box of parts I had been given. Also the speedometer is used and refaced by myself.

The spedometer in the pic is a spare I used for demo.

Thank you
