Mike, So do you turn the drill forward or reverse to check the speedo?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Help: Trans/Speedo Help Needed.
I would think, Mark, that one direction would make the speedometer increase as I have never see and mph in reverse reading. It was just a test. Also, since the speedometer cable, once detached, is removable from one end, you can perhaps clean it and verify it's not broken. I have seen the cable assy on ebay real cheap. I had heard that was the way shyster car dealers used to turn back the milage on a used car. It's was worth a look mike --- Mark Schwartz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mike, So do you turn the drill forward or reverse to check the speedo?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Help: Trans/Speedo Help Needed.
to eliminate a bad cable or clock turn cable at trans end and make sure the cable is not broken or binding and if clock works then its at the trans. - Original Message - From: Mark Schwartz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 10:59 AM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Help: Trans/Speedo Help Needed. Hi All, First off, thank you to everyone who has helped a newbie on my 69 yenko chevelle clone. first a recap of what I have. I have a 454 77 truck engine, with an M21 Muncie 4 speed. My speedo is not working. I replaced the plastic white gear and it worked for a minute or two and then stopped working. I had the car on jacks last week and took some pics of the trans, where the speedo cable goes and the piece (thing speedo gear goes on). I don't know if the list takes pics, so I will send them on demand. I could use some help getting my speedo to work. I'm pretty lost on whether I have to pull the trans or not. My buddy whose a non-chevy mechanic (8 hrs away), says that he was told that there could be the wrong tailshaft on the car. This could be causing the problem or stop the fixing of it. I have casting numbers on trans and tailshaft if that helps... So, sorry for the long winded post, but here are my questions. 1. Do I need to drop the trans to fix the speedo cable? 2. does the tailshaft have to be an EXACT casting # to work on the car? 3. Do I need to pull the trans and rebuild it to get this fixed. (The only 4 speed guy that comed highly recommend ONLY does full rebulds on the trans. Don't want to go that route unless absoultely necessary) 3. Help... Thomas aka (tomcat) San Jose, CA

Re: [Chevelle-list] Help: Trans/Speedo Help Needed.
Thank you, Yes I am going to check if the inner cable moves when the transmission is moving and going to use a drill to see if the speedo meter works.
