Reattached the speedo/odometer 914/6 unit after odometer was fixed at PA Speedo. Now the speedometer needle flutters. It did not before being pulled to have the non-functioning odometer fixed. Speedo cable rotates when car is moving, but also can be moved with pliers when not attached to gauge. Any suggestions?

I believe the gear is mounted inside the right angle 'thumb' at the rear of the transmission, where the other end of the speedo cable connects. (It's been a long time since I had that area apart..)
This is where the drill test comes in. Hook it up to the speedo cable end where you take it off the trans. You might have to make up an adapter. Run the drill at a steady speed (or several speeds) and have someone watch the needle. If it's steady at all speeds, then you're probably looking at something in the gear/transmission drive. If it still fluctuates, then something didn't go back together properly on the rebuild (since you have a new cable installed). |
