Quick update on the slow repair process...
- For $11.95 I got a replacement speedo cable shaft with both ends intact.
- I cleaned and lubricated the "right angle" mechanism at the transmission end of the cable.
- My speedometer was making an odd "non lubricated bearing" sound (and felt a bit "sticky") when I turned the cable by hand from the transmission end.
- I worked graphite powder into the shaft at on the back of the speedometer itself to make it turn more freely...
Result: Speed-o-meter still not working.
I now wonder whether the transmission is turning the gears in the "right angle" connector at all. Out of the transmission comes a small rod with a flat portion pressed into the end. When I put the right angle piece on this rod with a flat portion goes into a hole with a slot in the right angle piece...
Anyone have any ideas on how to check where the system is not making connection?
thanks,
Doug
