Title: Speedo Cable Reinstall - Rookie Mistake
Post by: gratefuljoe on July 19, 2007, 04:25:35 pm

Hey all,
   I feel like a dufus coming to the forum with a question like this, but I have nowhere else to turn!

   I removed the speedo cable from my tranny (020 1987) in order to fill up the fluid and now I can't seem to get it back into place.

   I thought it was seated properly, so I replaced the screw, however, the speedometer did nothing.  I was happy that the gear wasn't reduced to plastic shrapnel during this experiment!

   SO:  How the heck to I get the speedo cable gear to mesh properly once again inside the tranny?  

Thanks In Advance,

Gratefuljoe,

I had problems with this recently myself. After messing with it for way too long I realised that the mounting flange piece was not up high enough on the speedo cable. Once I massaged it into place it popped right into place. I'd suspect this is your problem as well
