I thought my TR6's speedo cable had died, but apparently not so. I have a j=
-type OD. After having the speedometer needle jumping about quite a bit for=
 a while, it finally just dropped to no movement. I checked the cable inter=
ior and then the angle-drive. Other than a sticky point when threading the =
inner cable, both cable and angle drive seem OK. However, when all are fitt=
ed to the transmission, the cable interior can spin freely, so it seems tha=
t the drive gear in the transmission must be done.

Can I remove that gear from underneath, or do I need to pull the tunnel cov=
er?

Hi Mark,
	I had the same problem.  I=E2=80=99ve got an A type transmission =
built from into Austin-Healy housing.  My overdrive worked well for =
several years and then quit in the same manner.  On my overdrive the =
angle drive is held in by a set screw that engages, if memory serves, a =
groove on the angle drive housing. By pushing the angle drive into the =
housing past the groove and then tighting down the set screw the cable =
once again connected to the drive in the transmission and has worked =
well that way for several years.
	Take care.
	Bob
