Chris,

Wow! that sounds kind of high to me. I would think you'd be able to buy a complete replacement for less than that. I'd do some shopping around if I were you.

Give a shot a lubing it, sometimes you get lucky

Send it down to me & I'll take it to my rebuilder.
He only charged me $80.00 to rebuild mine.

Thanks for the offers. Right now I am going to drive it for awhile and when I take it apart if I can't do it myself or find someone less expensive I'll take you up on it.

Well I used one drop of 3:1 oil and the speedometer works like a champ. I hope it isn't temporary but at least if the cops stop me I will have some what of an idea of how fast I was going so I will have some frame of reference to subtract from! Thanks for all the help.
