Reply to "speedometer cable"

I just replaced my speedo cable, mine broke at the other end. The cable at the end by the speedo head had a male end with a crimped on "stop" about 3/4 to an inch from the end. The other end is formed into a square shape that fits into the speedo drive unit. The question you need to determine is if you have a V.D.O. drive or a Borletti drive. Wilkonson has a picture (drawing) of the 2 types on his website to help you determine which one you have if you are not sure. My Borletti had the number "50-0804" stamped in it which is the number Pantera East has in its catalog next to the Borletti drive

Also when I took the drive unit out of my car, the drive was very difficult to turn manually. It had a catch in it that would hang up every 4th or 5th revolution. I lubed the hell out of it and spun it for about an hour in my drill til it turned smoothly by hand. DO NOT REMOVE THE BOLT BELOW THE SPEEDO DRIVE. IF YOU DO THERE IS A PART THAT WILL FALL INTO THE TRANSMISSION REQUIRING TRANSMISSION REMOVAL AND TEARDOWN.

Good luck
