New member with TR3 and bad speedometer

[AMC]

Hi Y’all,

I’m a new member to the forum. I’ve owned my TR3 since 1968. I purchased it for $300 when I was in high school. It’s been a terrific car and over the years has never run out of ways to cost me money. Today I pick it up from just having its transmission rebuilt at 99K miles. The irony is that the speedometer was just about to flip over but it broke on the way home. No, it's not the cable or drive gear. Now I'm looking for a gauge repair shop. Recommendations would be appreciated.

welcome! and sounds like you have had the car for a while - though I suppose it could only be 6 months.

No direct experience but I hear good things about

there is also a list here:

John-Peter,

Wow! Thanks for the terrific information. I'm definitely going to pursue repair with one of these shops as soon as I pare down the list.
I hope the weather is finally breaking for you guys so you can get into prime roadster driving season. As for Tryon NC it's always roadster season here.
I don't miss Toronto's cold winters but I do miss the great burgers I would get from Toby’s Good Eats on Yonge and Bloor back in the '70s.

Best, Al Converse
