Did you happen to take the cable out of the housing and put it back in from the wrong end? There is a stop on the cable to keep it where it belongs. If it is put in wrong, the cable won't engage fully and you can have your kind of issue.

Either way, as you probably have guessed, something is wrong with the speedometer in the assembly. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 142 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 142 | New from classic industries.Guess I will call them tomorrow.Thanks,,i was afraid it was bad. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 1,611 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 1,611 | | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 142 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 142 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | If the odometer is racking up the miles, then everything from the transmission all the way to the head is working, so that only leaves the speedometer. I had to return two defective units until I got one in my '56 that would last more than a few hundred miles, mine had odometer issues...
