Hi group,
Son's new (to him) '85 pickup has a speedo that quit working. Included with truck was a receipt from former owner showing he'd taken truck to a shop to get this problem fixed. The shop charged $144 to diagnose the problem, which they said needs to be fixed inside the tranny. Apparently a small drive gear is stripped. The speedo did work when the truck was purchased, only later did we notice the receipt, then speedo quit working.
Anyone had experience with this? Sounds like a tranny removal is needed to fix, right? Or, can the rear section of the tranny come off to fix problem while still in truck? BTW, it's a 5 speed.
thanks in advance,
Doug
