1979 MGB.
Years ago, my speedo began operating eratically. The odo turned, probably with some error. Eventually, all operation ceased.
The car has over 300,000 miles (well, some parts do, some don't). The trans mission has been reworked in the past, but I believe I still have the original (reworked, but not replaced).
Recently, I decided to fix the speedo problem. Hoping that it was not the gauge itself, I replaced the drive cable core and left the gauge end disconnected sticking out from under the dash - it did not turn as I drove. I would guess that the problem lies in either the transmission adapter or the pinion gear. Does anyone have any thoughts on this problem?
