[DeTomaso] Speedo noise

[Don Franck]

Like I said before, I don't think it was the cable.  I disconnected the
speedo AT THE SPEEDO, not the transaxle.  Still had noise.

One more thing I did not mention (my bad).  This IS a new cable.

At any rate, the noise is gone now.  If it comes back, the speedo will have
to come out to be looked at.
