I’ve got a new speedo cable and could get 150 mph with a drill which means everything works with the cable and dash gauge. What’s the problem with the angle drive? How do I troubleshoot this?

How do I know if it’s the right one? I’m spinning the cable counter clockwise to get the speedometer to run.

How do I know if it’s the right one? I’m spinning the cable counter clockwise to get the speedometer to run. If car can be driven, try to do a reverse drive and use celphone to record the speedo gauge if it is going up (I said use celphone so you will not get into accident doing a reverse but looking at your gauge, unless you have a good clear on your road). If angle drive is remove from transmission, turn one side of the angle drive and see if the other end turns the opposite way. My speedo on my 1st 914 has non working speedo gauge until I compare my extra angle drive to the one in the car, one angle drive turns both end on same direction and one angle drive turns the opposite way. Just can’t remember now which one is the correct angle drive since I fixed mine last 2012. If I have time tomorrow, I can take a video of that angle drive since I still have it and I have both kind of angle drive on my boxes of parts. |
