... and Mike, if your current cable/reverser/speedometer combination has
ever worked beautifully, then your current problem will not be either the the cable itself, or the little spike between the reverser and the speedometer, bottoming out. But, if you get to the point where the drill is on the floor under the car, spinning the cable as fast as it will go, and you have the reverser attached to the cable, and you're sitting there in the driver's seat with the reverser in your hand, and it feels "buttery smooth," but when you attach the reverser to the speedo you have problems, then suspect the spike between the two or the speedo itself. You can do a "half ass" speedo test by just reaching up behind the dash with the little spike between your thumb and forefinger, and you can spin the speedometer up to almost 20 miles an hour by hand. It should feel light, easy, and smooth when you do that. Or, you could just order a new cable, driven gear, and reverser from Summit and say
"screw it all...."
