Next, next question. The PO stated the trip/mileage cable was frozen, sure enough, the knob would not turn. I removed the speedo and checked the trip (all my terms are wrong I'm sure so please bare with me). Gently inserted a small screw driver in the back, the trip works fine. So it must be the cable. Right?
The entire cable turns, housing and all, is that correct? I would think it would be a cable inside of the housing, like a speedo cable. So, something is amiss. Opinions please Who sells the cable? If that is what it is. Best, mike |

It's weird, but the whole cable turns. But the mount that bolts to the dash should remain stationary while the cable and knob spin. Mine was all seized up. I had to soak it in penetrating oil and then take it apart and clean it up. Then it worked as expected. Wit the cable out of the dash, the mount should spin counter clockwise on the cable shaft but not the other way. So first, just try taking the knob and mount apart and cleaning it up.

New ones are available but the cable is pretty simple so cleaning and lubricants no should work.

Thanks boys. Sound advice as usual. Will pull it out and give it a good soak and clean. I bet that will work.
