The back, IE: Jack up the rear end so the tailshaft fluid runs forward if your removing just the cable you shouldn't lose any. One can also then use a variable speed drill to check the cable and speedo itself. Also verify that the cable has not rounded out to opening in the gear Last edited by TJP; 08/25/22 09:27 PM. www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com
