Reply to "Replacement speedometer lubrication"

Uh oh dare I say another discussion where I beg to differ...

The speedo cable should be sheathed i.e. some type of polyethylene coating the inner cable. Graphite powder is a good lubricant for such a cable (however not for a metal cable) that is bouncing. You can get graphite powder suspended in a light solvent that you spray in the cable and the solvent evaporates to leave the graphite powder lubricant. It's called "kable ease"

This is my opinion, however a web search will bring up some corroboration, equally it will get you many opinions.

The myth around disconnecting the cable is another Pantera falsehood. It is perfectly okay to disconnet the cable from the angle drive. It is also perfectly okay to undo and remove the angle drive (you might want to clean and grease it too). Do not undo the 10mm bolt underneath the angle drive that holds the ZF speedo gear drive without knowing what you are doing as it can fall into the transaxle.

Good luck,
Julian
