[DML] Re: Angle Drive Failure

["joeyoseppi" <joeyoseppi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bob mine has worked fine so far, reverse & forward for all of the 7 
miles I have driven since it was installed. Did you check to see if 
it went back and forth correctly with no drag or no lock ups? One 
quick other note I thought your origonal post said you got your 
angle dribe from Hervey, I really didn't know there were this many 
choices for angle drives out there.

For a bit of humor on my part, and something for other owners to 
check for. I ended up not needing the angle drive after all. I have 
the new one installed and working now, but after a successful 
install and reassembly I still had no speedo. Turns out the lower 
speedometer cable had managed to back off the Lambada and come 
disconnected. Found that out only this morning as I was cleaning 
little odds n ends on the car. 

A few harsh words later, I simply reconnected the lower speedo cable 
and all is fine again. I guess I should have looked a little better 
as I thought it was odd that I had NO warning or ticking telling me 
that there might be a problem with the angle drive. It just didn't 
work the next time I drove it. Guess I looked before I lept and 
assumed speedometer not working = bad angle drive. But at least I 
now have the weak point in the speedometer fixed and the lower 
speedo cable in the correct bracket now. Gotta love the little 
quirks of these cars sometimes. :)
