At last the transmission transplant for Casper is finished! The
last hurdle, getting the speedometer to work was solved by
removing the gear shift adapter from the top of the transmission
and having a look. The worm drive gear was obviously too far
forward on the output shaft, could never have engaged the toothed
gear. However...while rotating the shaft I noticed another hole
about 1/2 inch further back in the output shaft, released the
spring clip from the worm gear, slide it back 1/2 inch...slipped
the clip into the rear hole and...Voila!! worm gear engaged the
toothed gear...cable turns, speedometer works...
Ahhh the small things that make life pleasant...now to check the
speedometer against my GPS for accuracy, should not be a problem
as I have "several" toothed gears with various numbers of
teeth...
My question to the list...if the speedometer reads "slow" do I
increase or decrease the number of teeth??
Thanks to all.
