I have lost my speedo after a vigorous gear change at speed a year ago.
Since than i have changed the gearbox and stuck the speedo cable back on hoping it would work . It has NOT :?
As the new gearbox i fitted on there had torx type fitment rather than the square type on the old boxes ,i swapped the plastic insert bit from the old box which i am thinking was a mistake as i now understand the torx style insert is supposed to work with a square cable end ??
Today i have pulled the instrument panel out and checked in first gear/rolling that the instrument end of the cable and seen it is not spinning
but once i pull the cable from gearbox end and spin by hand ,instrument panel end spins too which confirms the cable is not broken on the inside .
Obviously the problem lays in the gearbox end .
Anyone have a diagram showing internals of the speedo cable hole on the gearbox . So that i can try to make some sense as to how to fix this.
