Dave Apr 15th, 08, 10:23 PM I took out My cable to lube it up, trying to stop the bounce. I failed to remember which end the ferrule was on?:clonk: Trans end, or gauge end. Thank's for the help. Dave. 1badss396 Apr 15th, 08, 10:37 PM Dave my original one was at the guage end of the cable. Dave Apr 15th, 08, 11:02 PM That's kinda what I was thinking, to keep it from climbing into the gauge too far. Thank's Brad 1badss396 Apr 15th, 08, 11:12 PM That's kinda what I was thinking, to keep it from climbing into the gauge too far. Thank's BradAlso so I think it wont slide into the trans either?? Kinda works both ways:D You will notice its longer on the guage end than the trans end. TrooperY2K Apr 15th, 08, 11:17 PM It goes on the gauge end. That's why you have to pull it out from the gauge side to lube it, although life would be much easier if we could yank it from the trans end.:D Dave Apr 15th, 08, 11:36 PM It goes on the gauge end.

Dave Apr 16th, 08, 11:33 PM I got some white lithium in a spray can, with a hose.:thumbsup: O.K., next question. I removed the speedo cable, cleaned it, greased it, replaced it. While the speedo end was hooked up, I attached My drill, and spun it. All was fine, so I hooked it up, and went for a drive. Sadly, it still has the bounce, What next?:confused: 4-door Chevelle Apr 17th, 08, 7:14 AM It sounds like a new cable is in order??? Can't be too exepensive. charbilly2001 Apr 18th, 08, 6:12 PM Get the entire cable assy out of the car, pull the cable out of the housing and squirt WD-40 into the housing liberally. Put the cable back into the housing and spin it with your drill for a good period of time while flexing the entire assy so that the cable gets to contact everywhere inside the housing. I am betting that there is dry, caked grease inside that housing that is still causing the cable to bind. The WD-40 should wash away the grease after you spin the cable. Take your time on this one. That grease has had a long time to build up. Dave Apr 19th, 08, 12:34 AM It's actually a new (repro) cable. I'm gonna dig into it tommorrow. | ||
