Same here,
When I took my '6 to Germany, I spent an awful lot of time on the road. Not
to beat the TR, I had a Sierra that I flogged at 120+ mph everywhere I went.
Ordered the angle drive from TRF, popped it in, took her for a test drive,
50 ft later - toasted angle drive.

Tom, I had a similar failure. My speedo was working OK with at severe
pointer
waver (+/- 5 mph). I greased the cable, but the waver came back soon. I
replaced the cable and it was better until it went to ZERO, just like yours.
I had been messing with the angle drive to lube it (not user serviceable)
and
checked it. It was toasted. I got it fixed and it was better than new.
buttoned it all up and STILL ZERO!!. THe speedometer input shaft had been
seized.
And broken the angle drive AGAIN!
