does the odometer still work?

[ms_manda]

ill need to check that...

but u know the one that.. when u press the button it restarts the numbers? i dont think that works coz its still on 000

[wynode]

well if none of those work.....then its probably your speed sensor or VSS

what year is your car.

flip top lights dont mean much to everyone.

my guess you got an 1986 teg, their cable driven, you cable has poped out at the tranny end.

[ms_manda]

mine is a 88 teg.. i gotta get my brakes fixed before i get the speedo fixed..
so just waiting for my car back now.. lol

[ECU-MAN]

88 will still have a cable speedo

follow it to the gearbox and see if its loose

it mite hav also been disconected at the cluster but ether way its dead simple to fix
unless someone has snaped off the clip in which case i would recomend superglue if u dont want the hassles of getting a whole new spedo cable and installing it. this is ur run around right??

[ms_manda]

i pulled off the dash and it was connected on the cluster end
so i followed the cable to the gearbox :confused:
and there it was, snapped off the clip :(
and plugged in nothing =\

i need to clean my engine...
30 seconds in my engine bay and my hand was black
grrr :!: :!:

so the cable is snapped?
cable shilding snaped?
or snapped housing on the box
if its just the shilding or the hosuing is can get a bodgy fix up
someone tried to unplug my cable coz it had dun so many kl's and then cracked the housing coz they didnt remoce the clip

push it back in

sometimes there a bitch to get back in, but you shoudl be able to figure it out, just line up the notches

[ms_manda]

yups i tried to push it back in but it fell out again...

im going to have another go at it tmr
stupid hot weather!!!

[ECU-MAN]

did you loose the little clip that is ment to hold it in, its ment to lock into the spline on the cable. another option is to push it in and use cable ties to hold it in place

[ms_manda]

not really sure
look more into it tmr
but if i cant handle it...
i guess its time to get ripped off at my local mechanic :thumbdwn: :thumbdwn:

[ECU-MAN]

nahh no need for that. Im sure you can get it on. I got a few tircks to help you.

[ms_manda]

tricks aye...
hehe, what kinda tricks u talking about?

[ECU-MAN]

safley jack the car up, support it on jack stands
start the car, put it in gear and let the engine idle, then push the cable in,

this is a quick way to line up the cable and the gearbox notch. then put the clip in to hold in in place. if you have no clip. get one. or use cable ties to hold the cable to somthing to hold it in place.
