Gearbox speedo drive
Posted: Thu Aug 23, 2012 4:43 pm
Hi All,
My speedo needle has been giving me problems by oscillating and under reading.
After investigation at the gearbox end I find that the speedo gear on the third motion shaft
can quite easily be turned by finger through the speedo pinion hole in the side of the box.
I would like to ask (optimistically) if this can be re tightened with the box in situ,or if any
other problems may exist. It is mated to a 1275 engine.
Any comments would be gratefully received.
