SPEEDOMETER DEAD

Recommended Posts

A few years ago I replaced the pinion gear in the rear end.  Car has been idle for 4 months while engine was rebuilt

I noted the speedo was a little skiddish,, but it was accurate based on Freeway speed signs.

THEN .,... NOTHING.... likely causes>  This is an R1 with automatic.

Thanks Keith

Maybe the inner cable has snapped.

Check the pinion gear in the gearbox again and check the inner cable at the same time.

If all seems well put a drill on the end of the cable and see if the gauge is moving.

No movement suggests a gauge issue.

Yes 1963r2 the inner cable was broken 2 feet down line.  The speedo dial turns so apparently gauge is ok
