Ted Ewen Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Hi, my speedo failed. I have the 2 piece speedo cable. I renewed the cables, then fitted drill to bottom end of cables and activated, speedo working fine. Then connected bottom end to gearbox, being careful to ensure end of cable went into drive hole. Still no joy. So, I am supposing problem with drive bit in gearbox, which I am thinking is not an easy job. Any suggestions welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The speedo drive is in the rear housing of the transfer box, so to remove that housing means rear prop & transmission brake removal Or the drive gear has come free from it's shaft where the cable from speedo fits, the alloy housing is removable so you can check that part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Is the end of the drive gear engaging on the new speedo cable, the cable may not be entering or it may have rounded off inside. With the cable fitted to the drive can you turn the other end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The driven gear and its housing should come out of the transfer box reasonably easily by levering it up with a screwdriver in the groove just below the cable clip, if it hasn't seized in the transfer box.
