Speedometer Question
Just want to make sure my brain hasn't gone completely off the track...
The Speedo in my old beast doesn't appear to want to spin at all. I removed the cable from the rear of transmission and the plastic gear seems fine...meaning it still has all of the teeth left on it; the cable doesn't appear to be bound up anywhere either.
SO! My thinking is to just replace the cable all together, however all the ones I've come across don't have the gear on the tail end, so is there a better upgraded gear (maybe metal) that can be used or is it one of those SOL deals stuck with the plastic gear?

ill give it a shot here in a couple with the cable (the cut method sounds more appealing 😁 - just swapped out all the light bulbs for LED's in the dash and working on the leaky power steering pump
