The speedometer has not worked from the day I purchased the car almost a year ago and in the process of diagnosing the cause this is what I found. The connection for the speedometer cable on the transmission, (the cable end was taped in place) is a 3/4 inch tube exiting the transmission with no threads on the outside but with fine threads on the inside. There is a shaft in the center of this which the square cable end will go into and there appears to be a rubber washer behind at the back end of the 3/4 inch tube.
My question is this. Is there a part that threads into this tube so the speedometer can be attached? All of the Triumph speedometer cables appear to have the same female threaded end to attach to the transmission so something is surly wrong.
Can someone set me straight here as the speedometer itself works and I am at a loss.
