[DML] Re: speedo, angle drive

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Greg,

The DeLorean speedometer should rise and fall with no jerkiness. Check to be
sure that the angle drive cable fits snugly into the dust shield (parts
manual 5/1/0 fig 9) Also insure that the dust shield is fitted snugly to the
hub assembly.
