Speedometer
Posted by 53 Cavalier On 2023/9/2 23:43:23
A few months ago my speedometer froze after a drive and the cable broke the next day when I went for a drive. I finally decided to fix it and give my instrument cluster a tune up. This "little" project was 2 long days!
When I went for a test drive the speedometer was working for 8/10's of a mile and then it stopped. Crying, I turned around went back home to pull the cable and check the speedometer. Part way back I stopped to take a little video of my dash and when I started again my speedometer was working. What the heck!?!? Parked in the garage pulled the cable, seems fine, checked the speedometer and it's fine too. Slide the cable back in and it seem to engage in the drive at the transmission, so I'm a bit flummoxed.
Went for a second drive and no speedometer again.
Could the drive at the transmission be out of position? Can that happen? I took it apart to recover the broken piece of speedometer cable a few months ago and maybe it didn't quite go back into the correct position, if that's possible. If the speedometer and cable are okay, then the drive seems like the likely culprit.
Help?
