I have an August 81 DMC vin 3231. Currently it's a semi-daily driver with 7300 original miles (sat for 15 years before I got it). My angle drive is original and is functioning correctly. After reading all about the angle drive and knowing about the high failure rate, is there anything in particular I could do to the angle drive and or whole speedometer cable system to hopefully prevent mine from ever breaking?
