At Conclave my speedo stops working. There was a mechanic there that told me the speedo was frozen, causing the system to fail. I pulled the speedo and had it repaired/rebuilt. I also removed the ang

Can only speculate, but FWIW (I've been working on mine a lot lately): - the internal workings of a speedometer are fragile. I really doubt the speedo 'froze' and broke the angle drive (there's not

This is a long shot, but I have had two angle drives fail, apparently, because I reset the trip counter while the car was moving. YMMV, Peter Schauss 1963 BJ7 1980 MGB ______________________________

There is suppose to be a washer inserted at the angle drive/tranny fitting on Austin Healeys. Evidently the short drive is a little too long and is said to create too much pressure on the angle driv

Actually it has been my experience that angle drive failure can often be traced to a tight or seized component in the speedometer itself, frequently either the odometer or trip meter tumblers. Insert

I stand (sit) corrected. I've been into my speedo a lot lately, and it's hard to believe the little bits inside could freeze up a cable and break the angle drive (without blowing the speedo apart). T

Do you have the spacer/washer installed between the angle drive & the overdrive/transmission? See parts book or Moss catalog. It is my understanding that this spacer is required to prevent the angle

Can anyone suggest a solution/cause to the needle bouncing all over the place at about 50 mph but not at 70+ or less than 40? It does this often but sometimes it behaves. The speedo was rebuilt 8K ag

My speedometer bounces at every speed even after being rebuilt by MOKAN twice. Hopefully someone on this list can help us both with this problem. Ron --Original Message-- From: healeys-bounces@autox

Having rebuilt quite a few angle drives, it is never the gear that's at issue, it's the insert in the gear that retains the bit of cable that goes into the transmission. The insert can slip, but more

The cable in the speedo should turn very easily. My money is still on the speedo being a problem. The bushing that the magnet shaft goes through will seize when it gets warm and it will break the ang

A frozen speedo bearing can cause angle drive failure. The angle drive can be rebuilt with a small piece from the inner part of an old speedo cable. John _____________________________________________

The inner speedo cable is kinked. Pull the cable out of the housing and lay it on a table. Then roll it and you should see where the kink is when that portion of the cable pops up or makes the cable

This is often associated with the speedo cable being routed wrongly i.e. not in smooth curves. The cable may also need a good internal clean and a smear of clean lithium grease. Not oil. Beware of ki
