Speedometer ?

[soba_03]

Ok engine is in and everything is up and running, except Speedometer.

It worked fine the day I drove it in the shop. Now driving it home and it's dead nothing at all. So replaced the speedometer head with one that I had. Still Nothing. I replpaced the cable 6 months ago. But the speedometer in the truck would occasionally jump and make a strange sound. Figured that it was a gear issue in the speedo head, So i had on in case it crapped out entirely. So put the on hand speedo head in and it's dead too. Thought I got a bad speedometer head. So I replaced it again. Still Nothing. Everything turns by hand and works. I guess I need some simple Ideas. can't believe it's a cable issue it's new. Speedo gear maybe... THoughts ideas....

check the gear in the trans, whenthe cable goes into the trans there is a
3/8ths bolt, remove it and the gear will come out, mite have to pry it atad but be carefull tho

i'd start by removeing the cable to check the condition

Disconnect the cable from the trans and chuck that end of the cable into a variable speed drill. If the speedo works when the drill is turning, you'll know the cable & speedo are good -- and you're not getting any output from the trans gear.
