New to 914 so need help on this one. My speedo was sluggish and not working correctly so I took it out to have it cleaned/repaired. Was told that a big gob of grease and oil was in the speedo mucking things up. I also noticed that when I drove the car with the speedo out, the speedo cable screw end at the dash was uzzing out black oil. What gives? Is there a breather on the 901 tranny that I don't know about and could be plugged and pressure forcing oil up the path of least resistance, the speedo cable? Or is there a rubber gasket missing at the tranny where cable attaches?? Anyone out there with this experience before? Don't want to put in nice clean repaired speedo and have this continue to happen. I am stumped on this one.
Thanks for the help. |

On the right rear corner of your transmission there is an "angle drive" that changes the speedo output to point to the front of the car. Pull it off and see if there is oil inside the speedo drive. If there is, then pull it and replace it with another one. The seals are internal and NLA.
You will have to get a new cable and angle drive if it was leaking. |
