Beltfed Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Got the transmission and two speed rear end back from restoration shop today. Have the 14 foot speedo cable in good shape and before installation would like to lube it. What do I use? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 39 Pickup Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Use graphite to lube the cable. Oil tends to dry out and get sticky and give eradict readings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim Zephyr Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) I remember seeing a tube of graphite oil or grease that is for speedo cable Edited April 16, 2014 by Jim Zephyr (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron K. Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Please do a little research first, I was warned not to use anything with graphite because it will "travel" into the speedometer and inhibit the internal gears. It was recommended by the fellow that rebuilt my speedo to use a thin layer of grease (I used synthetic) on the cable as you slide it into the shield.
