Reply to "Replacement speedometer lubrication"

Julian,

Yes, I have used fine graphite in a 1971 Cuda speedo cable that was going crazy and it worked like a charm -- the needle reading is EXTREMELY smooth now. I made sure to clean off the grease off the cable itself, and I used a solvent with pipe brushes on a wire to get the inside of the sheath as clean and grease free as possible. As I put the cable in the sheath, I made a "cone" out of my fingers and kept the graphite loaded up as the cable went in.

Now I do not have to worry about the grease being too thick, or the other way, too runny that would run to the low spots and not lube the other areas of the cable. Again, I know it works as I have done it myself, and the sheath and cable is just like a Pantera -- so I would think it would work well for Pantera owners too.

Best of luck with whatever option you choose.
