I have a 1991 toyota 4X4 pickup with 4 clyinder engine. My speedometer/odometer stopped working. I replaced the cable a few years back so I thought that was the problem again. I disconnected the cable from the back of the instrument cluster and drove around and it's not turning. I disconnected it from the transmission and turned the end with my fingers and the wife confirmed that the end in the cab is turning... so, the cable is fine. I also took out the 3 inch connecter "thing" that is held in into the transmission by a bolt and retainer and connected that to the cable... turned the end of THAT and again my wife confirmed that it was turning behind the instrument cluster. The 3 inch long connecter thing seems to be connecting to the transmission. I can see the little gear in the transmission that connects to the gear on the 3 inch thingy connector. I put it all back together and drove around and the cable does NOT turn. So, I'm thinking that there is some problem in the transmission.
Anybody have a solution??
thanks, Wayne
