[BACKYARD]

I understand someone [Tom H ] rebuilds these gauges . how do I reach him ?

Tom does tachs not speedometers. Do a search on this forum-there are a few places that rebuilds them. Or take a chance and buy a used one.

Someone I have used and had good success is Mike Mizrahi, previously with Nisonger. 914-536-1346;

He also does other gauges, but not clocks

As I remember, Mike Mizrahi was significantly less than that.

sent the speedo to Mike Mizrahi , now I drove it around the block and found the cable is not turning , it is a new cable so must be in trans , is this a common problem and is it a gear in the tail shaft ?

There is a gear in tail shaft to turn the center shaft in the speedo cable.

Are you sure the cable is good? Where did you get the cable? How much does the shaft extend from the connectors on each end?

I'd start by removing the speedo cable from the car, lay it out straight, turn the shaft on one end (counter clockwise is the normal rotation I believe) and verify the shaft on the other end turns.

Is it reasonable to disconnect at the transmission only, and carefully chuck the center shaft into a drill, and turn counterclockwise, watching the speedo? This would clarify that the speedo end was engaging
properly, and that the speedo of course works. Would avoid the joy of reconnecting the speedo end of the cable.
Might also take a look at the driving pinion while you were there, to see if it is chewed up at all. The original post said the speedo needed to be rebuilt, perhaps if there was a failure there, it could cause failure elsewhere along the line, or vice versa.

Everyone doesn't enjoy lying on their back to work under the dash?

The shaft is 'free floating' within the cable and can easily be pulled out completely. Perhaps the shaft just pulled out of the transmission when you removed the speedo? As I recall, less than a half inch or so sticks out when everything is in place. Do you have more than that showing? If so, you might be able to push it back in from there. If not, it has been a long time since I replaced one, but I think you could crawl under the car and unscrew the transmission end of the cable from the tranny and see if the shaft is still connected there.
