The tack & speedometer are seperate.
The tack comes from distributor, speedo is a cable from tranny.
The easer end to get to is on the tranny. The gear in tranny is purty tough, it will
swist off the cable to speedo, so the gear is not apt to be the probblum.
At the tranny end, the speedo inner cable IS NOT suppose to come out off outter
shell. If it does it is broke betwean tranny and the joint in the dash, you need to find out why.
At the dash end there is a jount in the speedo cable, about 8 in. from fire wall &
8 in. from speedo. When sepperated you should be able to turn the short inner
cable with your fingers, if not the speedo is frose, need new speedo & cable.
I have worked on two in the past mo., one the long cable from tranny to dash
was crushed, one the speedo was frose.
If outter shell is good you can get the inner cable only.for about $5, if you can find
a shop that makes them. I had to reuse the tranny end because the american end
is a hair larger and won't go in tranny.
