the end of the gear where the cable goes in rounds out just enough to let the speedo not work
Has anyone else had this happen? its my 3rd one. if i take adapter off and plug cable directly in it works just wrong.

Hs anyone had any luck with gps speedos? And witch one?
 
Autometer is 500 bucks and needs signal input, have not found GPS like speed hut

Read a lot of reviews and Vida on youtube
Like. Speedhut unit
 
Also Speedhut is lifetime warranty on electronics autometer is not
 
i didn't realize autometers need the gps sender+antenna. The cheapest autometer would still be $150-ish above the speedhut.

i approve of the speedhut.
 
i might even go for it myself due to the ease of installation and extra features such as 1/4 mile times although i'm sure there's an app for that.
 
I have Speedhut Gps speedo in my vw based dune buggy, works great. Compass altimeter 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile stop watches and of course trip meters and odometer.
You can customize to your tastes, email them a symbol logo CK5 sticker,
They'll print it on the face of guage.
Great company.
Wish they had a GPS speedo to replace oem cable driven. I might break down and get GPS cable drive.

Op @Kain have you pull the speedo cable clean it up and dry graphite it. If there are any hard spots going in or out you prob be better off to replace both.
 
It's the gear itself that's eating up the end where the adapter goes in is rounding out
I use dry graphite on speedos
 
You are talking about the correction adapter driven shaft chewing up the female square drive?
 
Yes!!! where it goes in the gear itself
even cleaned that thing and it didnt help
if unscrew that and plug cable in it works just wrong it doesn't stick in very far
 
Yeah you prob have an issue with the drive joint. They are serviceable, finding parts .... that's another story.

Has a collection of used drive joints. There will be a number on the case He may be able to match yours. I spoke and dropped by his place last spring, he was going to let me sort though the pile, I decided my speedo was fairly close and didn't change mine then. I will need to when I install the 4.88 I purchased.
