You only have to line up that bolt once.  When you have it all apart, cut o=
r grind a notch at the bottom of the retaining ring.  Then you can first in=
stall the retaining ring,  then insert the speedo cable, swing the retainin=
g not-quite-ring over top, and tighten.  If there is a next time, you don't=
 even have to take the bolt out. I did from below on my lift.

I replaced the gear on the my cable last year.

You can get at the speedo cable at the transmission by taking the panel off=
 the tunnel under the carpet, but it is not easy.
Getting the bolt lined up to go back into the transmission was the hard par=
t, I managed it with some profanity.

The bolt is easier to line up from underneath and possibly the whole job is=
 easier from underneath.

Hey all -

I recently had a local shop replace my clutch, along with a few other repai=
rs/updates.   On the drive home, I noticed the speedo wasn't working.   I m=
entioned it to the shop and they said it works "when it wants to" but would=
 be happy to take a look (meaning extra $).   My overall impression of the =
shop's work is just okay, so I was going to troubleshoot what I could befor=
e bringing the car back for more of their time.

It's been about 20 years since I installed that cable and could use a refre=
sher.   The installation at the gauge end is pretty straightforward, but as=
 I recall the speedo gear end is more tricky.   I seem to remember that the=
re here was an access port on the transmission tunnel underneath the carpet=
 and cubby box (?).   Or is it easiest to raise the car and access from und=
erneath?   Some combination?

Thanks much!
