Speedometer problem

    I have a 205 1.4 Forever from 1994. Runs like a dream!

    But the speedometer has stopped working at all. I tried to remove the
    speedometer cable today, and it seems to me like it's working fine (when
    I rotate one end, the other end rotates accordingly).

    But when I attach the cable to the transmission again, nothing happens -
    the other end (cabin end! ) doesn't move at all...

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Hans Henrik

    There is a nylon helical gear inside the transmission housing, on the end of
    the speedo drive which is probably worn. You can get at it I think by
    removing the speedo drive unit from the transmission.

    I changed the nylon gear - and it did indeed solve the problem.

    Thanks for helping!
