After replacing my broken speedo cable (torn in half) my speedo still wasn't working.
So i disconnected it at the angle drive and used a drill to drive the cable and the speedo worked just fine. I then tried to turn the angle drive spade by hand and i was able to turn it while it was making a crunchy sounds. I don't think i'm supposed to be able to turn this by hand. Anyone know for sure? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) PS: Can i replace this with the oil in the transmission? What if i get the car at an steep angle, would it still leak? |

Make sure that the inner pinion is still in good shape. And the 914 and 914-6 units are different.
