Speedometer not working.
I have a 1990 F-150 4x4 5-speed. Recently purchased and speedometer was not working. Removed cable and was able to get a reading by spinning it by hand. The gear in the hole for the cable felt pretty smooth. I installed a shim (thanks to an Arnold Palmer tea can) and tightened down the bracket holding it down. Still didn't work, but I believe it caught every now and then. When ever I drove over a big enough bump the the speedometer would pick up enough to catch my current speed. So I believe it is the gear in the actual transmission that needs to be replaced. Just wondering if any one else agrees with that diagnosis.
