Alpha*Male Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Just changed out the driven gear on the transmission output shaft. Have the replacement cable in hand. How do I gain access to the rear of the speedo? Do I have to remove the entire cluster? Or is there a way i can get through the access port in the firewall?

Frank DuVal Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 VW Beetles are real easy, just lift trunk lid.😉 Most other cars require laying on your back.😡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheezestaak2000 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 not sure what type of car you're working on, but usually you remove cable from back of speedometer and pull the cable out of the housing. you then feed the new cable in, after applying a liberal amount of white lube on it. next step is to remove lower end from speedo gear an connect new cable into the hole in the end of the gear. tighten everything up and you're done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Not sure if it is the same car, but he had a thread about a 65 buick Rivera not long ago. Seems to be another person who thinks we can read minds to determine what they need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Follow the cable housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 His posts have been about a 1965 Buick Riviera, so....probably for a 1965 Buick Riviera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha*Male Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Sorry. Should have made myself clear. Thought I was posting to a specific board; the Buick Riviera board. Sorry guys. Figured that it was easier to access the back of the speedometer by removing the fuse panel and box. It worked. (ppphhheeww, one guy recommend taking the dash pad off) Thanks for your help everyone.
