Heavy Z Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Hello all, I just installed the JTR speedo cable in my '71 and it's not working. I pulled the cable off the speedo guage to check it to make sure it was turning when the car was moving, which it did. So it's the speedo, my question is whether or not there is a cog inside the speedo that could've fallen out while the cable was off, or is this just wishful thinking? If I need a speedo, any recommendations? Thanks, Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 240hybrid Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 I had the same prob with my car. I hooked up everything after motorswap and speedometer wouldn't read anything. Took speedo gear out of tranny, low and behold, the gear had seized and luckily being hard plastic/not metal, the tranny drive just sheared the speedogear teeth righ off of it. I replaced it with a spare on off another tranny i had lay around and presto, speedo jumped to life. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
