On the way to my new home in my 51, my speedometer stuck on 35mph. This is the first time this has happened. I removed the speedo cable and it returned to 0. I reinstalled the cable and the needle does not move but the odometer still works.

Yesterday I removed the speedo, took it all apart, reassembled it, tightened all the screws, and the same thing happens. The needle does not move but the odometer still works. If I turn the linkage by hand the needle will move and return to the 0 position.

If I had a broken cable, nothing would work? Or is this not true????

The cable may be too long. Try leaving the connector a little loose. If that is the problem you can cut it off a little.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
