Recently had gauges rebuilt. All functioning except speedo. Gauge operates but needle does not move above 10mph.
I was told that speedo drive gear in transmission must be replaced.
Can this be done without removing tranny?
Thanks,

Use a variable speed drill and spin the cable checking the needle on the speedometer. If the speedometer works fine, it is the gear in the transmission. If it doesn't then its the speedometer.
As for the gear replacement, I've replaced them on newer transmissions. Is yours a 3 or 4 speed?

Speedo works fine.
Transmission is a 3 speed. | | |
