Speedo Question
78 with automatic transmission. At slow speed the needle barely moves. With car at 50 mph, the needle waivers around 30 mph but goes no higher. Not sure if it would be the the speedo cable or the gauge itself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you're sure the cable is engaged at both ends, Cable problem would be no operation or an oscillating needle. Sounds like the speedo. They can be cleaned up and repaired.

Be careful with the driven gear - it's fairly easy to push it in too far and have it drop into the transmission tail assembly. Then after a few hours of trying to fish it out, just put another one in. It doesn't seem to bother the tranny any to have the other one floating around in there.
