Me again,
My speedometer inner cable has sheered off at the transmission.
Is there something likely causing this condition? I am hesitant to replace it for $45 and have it break again. Filling Station is out of their $35 ones.
Thanks,
Jim

Yep, the speedometer seems to be frozen up.

You must obtain a new/used speedometer that works before you replace the cable. Otherwise you will be replacing cable #2.

Rebuilt cable is on its way. My odometer was locked (2 spindles) so I'm going to use a working used one I got from eBay a while back.
How does one lubricate the speedometer/odometer and the cable?
