Speedo question

Trying to get my speedo working. I have a new cable, if I spin the end of the new cable it moves the speedo needle. I replaced the bullet in the trans at one point due to the seal and the gear looked ok. What else or what should I check? What test and how. Thanks.

Re: Speedo question

Trans end plastic gear with square hole that the cable end fits in, not stripped out?

Re: Speedo question

Unscrew cable at speedo, drive, and verify the cable is turning. Then pull the bullet again and look and diagnose.

Is there a way to pull a bullet without all the transmission fluid draining out? I guess maybe having the rear on jack stands?

It shouldn't lose very much.

Park with the front of the truck lower (like backing into driveway) and jack up from rear when doing it.
