I've read a number of posts about speedo cables, how to route them, why they "snap," etc. But how can you tell if the speedo cable has snapped without moving the car? I was reattaching my speedo cable to the back of the speedo itself, when the inner cable suddenly seemed to slide out of the outer cable by about 5/8 inch. Now it will not slide back in far enough to allow the threaded barrel to engage the threads on the speedo (photo). I can slide the inner cable further out, and back and forth, but I can never make it slide in far enough inside the outer cable to reattach it. It feels and sounds like it's hitting something. And yes, I have noted the squared end of the inner cable and how it has to fit just right.
Have I somehow pulled the other end of the cable free from its connection? Is this what a snapped speedo cable feels like in your hands?
Thx
