RE: [DML] Re: Alternatives for Angle Drive needed, getting fed up with system

Jan-
I was just wondering-- do you drive in snow and/or rain much? Does your car
sit out and freeze? You may be getting water into your angle drive and it
may be breaking because it is actually and really frozen, as in ice.

I had a similar problem with a different car years ago, back in Alaska....
(but not any more, moving is one way to fix that!)

Dear Jan,
I don't have anything to offer in answer to your question,
however, I have had my car since April of 83, bought new with 17
miles on it. I now have over 46,000 miles and the only time the
speedometer acted up was shortly after I put on brake dust shields
and the pressure on the plastic cap wasn't sufficient anymore to keep
it tight and spinning. I fixed that problem and it has performed
perfectly ever since. I still have the origional angle drive.
Every couple of years I remove the screw and add some
lubrication. Nothing more. Good luck in your search.
