I was driving and the speedo was stuck on 60 the whole way home. Stopped at a light and it went to zero and never moved since. The odometer works perfect but the speedo hardly works at all. I took it apart and found grease all over the cup that is connected to the needle...grease all over everything. Is this normal? Should I grab another speedo, or use a bike speedo?

somebody hold my beer.....
there is a gearset that advances the odometer, and when the factory made these guages, they didnt score the rod when putting on the gear, so when year 30+ rolls around, they strip and dont work, IE the gear spins but the rod doesnt. |
