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.

The noise will return. If the speedo works & makes noise, it is binding somewhere & might have worn some of the inside of the cable jacket. It catches from the bind & snaps. Soon it will break. The lube is usually a short term fix.
 I think a replacement from Wilkinson is about $50, not the end of the world. Easier to replace rather than putting a band aid on it.

It seems to me that the noise is IN the cable, that's what mine was doing before it stopped working, I have every intention of replacing the cable to fix it.  I think that the end of the cable has simply twisted off.

My speedo is making one heck of a racket.  It is not the cable, I unhook the cable and it stops.  Can you spray dry lube in it?


What else can you do?
