speedo drive in gearbox
do u mean where the speedo cable goes in to (not the clock end) but the gearbox end
can u get new 1s from ford?
roughly how much are they
is it a diy job?

S2martin

Yeah i think it's common mate well saying that i have had 2 cossies that the speedo drive broke with.

Yeah from fords as far as i can remember or try Bernie he might be able to source you one (gearboxman).


Can't say if it's a diy job though as i never done it
got my mate to do it for me and it didn't take him long so possibly

How did u check the cable worked?! Easiest way is jack the back end up and put it into gear and you'll see if its turning or not,(obvoiusly disconnecting it out the back of the clocks so u can see if its turning or not!) or remove the drive bit out the box and turn it by hand, or try another set of clocks!!

Piece of piss 2 change thou mate, easiest way is take the drive bit that goes into the box, its just a torq bit holding it in and a small plate then just pulls out (might need some gentle persuasion) then theres a circlip holding the cable inplace take it off and voila fit new 1!!!

U might find thou that its just come out of place in that end, mine stoped working after i changed my clocks for no reason, went to a parts place who got me the wrong one in the end and said it was the only 1 they lsited for a cossie

SO basically i pulled the cable (middle bit that drives the clocks) as far out as i could and plugged it back into the drive bit, turned it by hand and it was working again!!!

Could be the 'worm' drive cog on the mainshaft in the gearbox,mine fooked up when my speedo cable melted on manifold

Gearbox out and split the backend off gearbox if it is this thats gone

Not available from Ford

As said above,remove speedo drive first and check that,if that seems ok stick your finger in through speedo drive whole and feel if the worm drive cog is there,and if its solid(attached to shaft),if it spins around the shaft like mine did its gearbox out time m8!!!!!!!!!
