Not your common "speedometer doesn't work" thread

[suprasick]

Noticed speedometer stopped working. Tested both cables with a drill here's the vid: http://bit.ly/1iI0q6O

Transmission is a W58. I am kind of stuck from here. Whats next, do I really have to open the transmission up?

Thanks

Depending if the speedo gear is stripped out you may be able to replace that without tearing into the trans.
12mm bolt on the top and it slides right out. Might need to drain the fluid, not sure.

Awesome! thanks for the reply I'll try to do that today.

Iirc there is a clip on the cabole side. See pic. The wheel doesnt come off the shaft...,.

Ok. Here comes the same question asked a different way: how do I remove the large threaded metal piece so the nylon wheel can come out the transmission body? I've removed the 12mm bolt and the small metal tab, but the large threaded metal part won't move in any direction. Sorry I'm being dense here, but it's driving me crazy not to have my working speedo. TIA.

Not the same question. That's a different question.

You can try prying out with a screw driver or something. There is a oring sealing it so it might be a little stubborn.
