broken speedo cable Just had done a thoroughly maintenance on my truck, did a ride around the block and happy that everything works as it should … what the heck is that ??? The speedo pointer did not a twitch anymore … sh The speedometer cable was broken. Not that big problem if you have a shop with a spare part around. I do not have that and since I was impatient anyway, I checked if the cable can be repaired. Fortunately the inner diameter of the cable sheath is large enough that it is possible to fix the cable with a tube [1]. Installed the cable, did a test. Crack !! ?? Took out the cable, it was broken at the same place. Next attempt, same effect… next attempt, same result. (How many attempts does someone need until the light in the head is on …) Checked then the speedometer mechanism. The drive was completely blocked ! Removed the speedo, let the drive soak with WD40 for some minutes[2]. After that the drive did move already quite passable. Let drip a little precision mechanics oil into the drive (sleeve) and run the speedo with a drilling machine (counterclockwise !) for another 5 minutes [3]. Everything is working well again. Just a recommendation to also check the speedo drive to avoid duplicate (or triple...) effort, or even damage a new cable of which you were glad to get it !

Pulling my gear box out from the clutch housing and found that my gear shift shaft which is very long has a bolt running through the top about a inch below the pivot joint. It look like some type of plug. How do I get this shaft out so I can drop the gear box?

Hello all, Ken here, brand new member to your group. Not new to Mopar, but BRAND new to the Windsor universe. Could use some help in the areas of restoration, parts, "what-to-do, what-not-to-do", etc...... I'm basically an "original" kind of guy, so as close to stock as possible is my preferred method. Nothing against modernizing, I just like the cars the way they came. Anyway, if anyone can tell me more about them, I'd appreciate it. Please see attached photos. Car needs a complete interior. New paint, re-chrome most trim, etc. Runs, drives. thanks! ken
