MR2 speedo cable = snapped?

Postby RomanV » Fri Nov 04, 2005 2:36 pm

My speedo stopped working yesterday, (1990 NA SW20) I would imagine due to a snapped speedo cable.

Has anyone replaced this before?
Or alternatively, are there any other possible causes?

I would imagine it would be a PITA job to do, if it is the cable.

Check the pin that comes off the speedo driven gear inside the gearbox, mine rounded off so didnt drive anymore :?
Cost like $18 for Toyota for a replacement.
I also have a new driven gear here if thats your problem ;)
