Speedometer cable breaking Mystery
Written by swiftly1... on 1/19/2012 at 09:48 pm

Check to make sure the speedo cable is routed exactly as in the manual.

My thinking is, the only way the cable would break close to the speedo head is
that it locked up and the cable still spinning until it broke. I did take the
speedo all a part, examine all the gears, shafts and what not, and even hooked a
drill on it and ran it 40+ miles and works smoothly. I guess at this point is to
put it all together with a new cable and see what happens..
