1972 mgb WITH overdrive.
driving last summer I noticed my speedometer was starting to slow down. 35mph would read as 20mph. It gradually got worse until it would barely move then it stopped moving at all.
today I pulled the the angle drive from the overdrive
and was really hoping it was broken. It was not.
the angle drive spins and drives the cable just fine.
I put one end of another speedo cable I have into the input on the overdrive. Its seized. I see there is a bolt and a bracket holding it up in there. Before I open it up and potentially make it worse I wonder if anyone here knows if this can be easily repaired WITHOUT pulling the transmission.
I'm willing to live without the speedo working if it required pulling the engine and tranny to fix it.
thanks.
