I neglected to mention that about half way through this saga, I had the =
speedometer rebuilt by West Valley Instruments; presumably they would =
have lubricated any necessary areas.  Any other ideas welcome=E2=80=A6
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
After about the same number of failures I found that the problem was =
actually in the speedometer itself.
In both cases where I have encountered the problem the odometer itself =
was actually seizing causing the cable to sort of corkscrew and then the =
angle drive failed.
If you hold the speedometer loosely in your hands and use a drill to run =
the drive, anticlockwise when looking at the back of the instrument, =
after a while you will probably detect resistance to turning.
I took mine apart and sparingly lubricated the odo and trip shafts and =
in both cases the problem was solved.

In the three years that I have owned my BJ8, I have gone through three =
right angle speedometer drives.  The failure is that the short coil =
spring drive from the transmission to the helical gear fails; it looks =
like a birds nest of broken wires.  I am aware of the critical spacer =
washer that must not be forgotten; in fact, this last time, I put in two =
spacer washers, trying to overcome any marginal tolerance issues.  I =
also lubricated the speedometer cable liberally with lithium grease.
I checked the autox archive and this question went around in 2009; at =
the time, the remedy was to use only graphite (no grease) to lubricate =
the speedometer cable.  Is this still the conventional wisdom?  Any =
advice on how to clean out the outer part of the speedometer cable?
Thanks, Mike=20
