thegreatestben Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Theres a little tiny pin in the end of the drive. could be worn or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 yeah or the lil tooth thing on the cable (if thats how they work on toys, i know mitsi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr dori Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Nah the tooth is still there, the drive has the cog that meshs to a alloy cog and drives the bit where the little toothe goes onti, surely something inside couldnt be broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 coz the speedo gear normally drives off the main shaft too, so thats deff "spinning".Has got to be the speedo gear or somthing to do with the cable.U sure the cable isnt broken inside somwhere?

Mr dori Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 yea pulled the whole cable out of its casing, all sweet. i dont knwo what to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 jack up car, throw in nautrl and spin tailshaft. see if the drive is actually moving. seems that's the problem. maybe the teeth of the gear aren't meshing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
