Can anyone tell me the application for these speedometers and how they worked....It has a cable drive adapter that appears to drive a small generator(?) which in turn powers the speedometer....Made by Bendix Aviation...Thanks for any help......

Thanks....the speedo input is a cable drive to some type of generator and this drives the tach rather than a cable?

I'm not hearing anything positive about this tranny....the equivalent of a chunk of coal in your Christmas Stocking........think I will leave it in the guys garage.........Merry Christmas to all by the way...Mac

Thanks for info.....

Ironic is right!

I answered my own question This transmission, used in 1961–64 Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs, was a dead-end technology very loosely based on some of the technology employed, starting in 1956, to improve the original Hydra-matic. The intent was to reduce production costs, reduce the size and weight of the unit, and improve smoothness of operation. (Smoothness was “in.” Efficiency, not so much). The transmission ended up being one of the most unreliable ever produced. Failures occurred with depressing regularity. One problem was with a fluid coupling that filled and emptied in order to shift; it proved problematical and complex.
