I have tried just dripping some heavy oil down it and letting that work its way in, but that seldom seems to work. Keep in mind that the problem is often in the speedometer rather than in the cable. You can take the speedo out and just a drop or 2 of light oil in around the input shaft (don't waste oil down the center hole of that shaft.) -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
